Sweet Find at World Market

Did I mention my new laptop? My husband bought it for me for my birthday and I'm in love with it. It is so adorable in fact that I am embarking on an all out Bag Hunt on my other site on Geekgirlfriends.com in its honor.

This cute laptop bag I found completely by accident while I was shopping for tea and wine at the World Market at Mayfaire shopping center last night. (That's my 9-year-old daughter modeling it.) It fits my shiny red (approximately 15" x 11" -- outside dimensions) Gateway M series laptop perfectly and has two outside pockets to stash small extras in. It's constructed from pleasant-to-the-touch, quilted 100% cotton. I got the red floral but there were other colors, including a staid grey if you this is too loud for you.

This is not a bag for hauling the laptop, charger, extra work gear, and sundries on a cross-country trip. But it's perfect for grabbing the laptop to take to a lunch meeting or to hang around waiting while a kid takes piano lessons. And at this price ($10.99) I see no reason not to own this little satchel as well as a more substantial bag for commuting or traveling.

These are not available on the World Market Web site but they had lots of them—and also some cute sleeves made from a similar fabric but with no handle—in the store.

  1. Super cute, and cheap to boot! I'm also rather in love with my new laptop. Maybe buying the bag would be like bringing it flowers?

  2. There are days I feel in a parallel universe with Christina. I looked at those same bags on Friday, but have recently bought a tight neoprene laptop case for mine.

    I now have bag envy.
