Milano Laptop Tote and Carry-On
You've seen her at the airport - the frustrated multi-tasker who's struggling to make it to her terminal in time, a laptop case swung around her shoulder, handbag in right hand, mocha latte in left, and carry-on dragging behind. Worse yet, you've seen her clamoring down the plane's aisle, unknowingly knocking elbows and side-swiping innocent passengers, eyes locked on the seat next to yours. Nobody wants to be that woman. Keep things simple with the new MobileEdge Milano tote, specially designed to hold and protect your precious laptop with Saf-T-Cell technology, while keeping cell phone, wallet and all the other necessities on hand. Complete with a removable wristlet for cosmetics or loose change, we gaurantee that this bag will be the end of your carry-on chaos.
