THIS1: computes




I am a bagaholic. I like to change my bags like outfits. But I was always leaving something I needed in one of my bags when I would switch to another one. Like my car keys. When I designed Bagstil I had this problem in mind, and I wanted to come up with a solution. So, check it out- all the Bagstil bags have interchangeable inside pockets, pockets you can snap in and snap out. You can take what is inside of one bag and move it into another, easily- with a snap. The laptop bag has three.

DIRTY LITTLE SECRET


HEY GIRLS! I WAS DRAWN TO THIS DISCUSSION ON WORKIT MOM BECAUSE I AM A HANDBAG DESIGNER AND SO I WAS NATURALLY INTERESTED IN WHAT YOU ALL HAD TO SAY. MY BAGS HAVE A LIGHT, CREAM COLORED INTERIOR. THEY ALSO ALL (EXCEPT FOR THE CLUTCH, WHICH IS TOO SMALL) HAVE A REMOVABLE POCKET THAT YOU CAN PUT KEYS, QUARTERS, TAMPONS, OR OTHER SMALL ITEMS IN, ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT YOU WOULD WANT TO REMOVE FROM YOUR BAG WITHOUT SHOWING THE WHOLE WORLD. IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT I CALL THE POCKET THE "DIRTY LITTLE SECRET." IT SNAPS ONTO THE INSIDE OF THE BAG. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK! AND TO SEE ALL THE BAGS, VISIT www.bagstil.com

5 WAYS TO MOVE YOUR BUSINESS FORWARD WHEN YOU'RE FEELING STUCK

Thank you soooo much Nataly.

BUSINESS ADVICE FROM MY 3 YEAR OLD

I started Bagstil in the beginning of 2009 with the vision to create a handbag that is functional yet sexy at the same time.
All bags are designed and handcrafted in Los Angeles! That provides superior quality control and also that working conditions at the manufacturing level are up to a higher US standard.
Lars and I have decided to change the names of the bags to reflect their functionality. When pondering a new approach my husband recalled that our now 3-year-old daughter Jade used to say “This One!” when she really liked and wanted something. We thought that customers feel the same about Bagstil’s bags.
So we decided to incorporate “THIS1” into the names in combination with calling out the purpose of the bag:
For example: THIS1: computes. So it is self-explanatory and simple. And we think it achieved another goal: It looks very cool, too.
The time I can focus on my work has naturally been limited somewhat with the birth of my beautiful son Kaelen. But be assured that this is not going to stop Bagstil!

UPSTATE ESCAPE


Steal away to the country in American classics with comfy knits, natural fabrics, a good pair of jeans for those breezy nights under the stars. And THIS1: travels ( a black handbag made out of super soft leather, with removable inside pocket)

COLOR: SPICE UP THE SEASON


Forget the basic black bag, This light grey leather makes for a tote that can take you from day to night.
