Whether you are beginning to join the "real world", just landed THE job or you have your own business - never underestimate the importance of a great bag. The bag you carry is like a language all its own. I have a closet full of clothes and accessories; however, when it is time to choose certain items for those important moments with a potential investor, client, etc careful choices have to be made. This is not a moment to carry a variety of bags (first impressions are critical) or to opt to leave something out due to a lack of room.

Tignanello has what I like to call the power bag, they call it a flap Double Handle Tote. I would definately include this bag within my wardrobe for a variety of reasons. First off I love the color red - bold color but there is something about making a statement about who you are through your accessories. Red encourages you to make bold statements and feel assured (if red isn't your color this bag comes in additional colors). I love that it is the perfect size for legal pads. I am never without my Sidekick but when I am meeting with someone and we are planning an event or brainstorming, a legal pad is a must. I love that it's secure, all your items are enclosed and there are compartments for all your needs.

To me, this bag would be perfect as a present to yourself regardless of the current career path. From exec, freelancer, etc this bag is the perfect solution to putting your best foot forward!
