Filed in archive Bags Galore by Kimmie on October 10, 2008

We all have things that we deem necessities but we make sure that the cars we drive or the plates we eat on have a flair so that we can enjoy using them. The same can be said for everything else that we have as well. This Bolero Messenger bag from Ooovoo has beautiful embroidery that definitely takes the ho hum out of carrying what's important in your world. This bag will ensure that your favorite book and Blackberry will be carried in style. I love that this and many other bags are made in hand by a women's cooperative in Vietnam. There is something to be said about supporting craftsmanship of this quality and being able to assist others as Oovoo is a socially conscious company. Take some time to check out more pieces from this line!

I really love that bag. I wonder if they make laptop bags for women?
