I’ve been wanting the Stately Satchel<\/a> (Kaleidoscope) for a long, long time and I finally pulled the trigger a few weeks ago. I just couldn’t get myself to spend the money on it because I’m too practical. We try not to by things just because we “want” them. There has to be a justifiable “need” for it. Anyway, a few months ago, Brian said he wanted my backpack. That created my need new work bag and so I was finally able to justify the purchase. <\/p>\n

The bag is the perfect size for my (body) frame and my laptop. Laptop bags can sometimes be a tad oversized and overwhelming. This one looks more like slightly bigger purse\/tote.<\/p>\n

I really love the sleek design. <\/p>\n

It also came with a storage bag, which is nice and will protect it when I’m not using it. For now, it’s my everyday work bag. <\/p>\n

I’m so in-love with this bag. I’m super happy I got it. Actually, I’ve been super happy with everything I have ever purchased from Betabrand<\/a>. Here are some of the things I’ve gotten in the past:<\/p>\n
