Make It Snappy

Snap Design Laptop Bags

Ladies aaaand gentlemen, in this ring we have Zora the Magnificent, whose juggling skills astound.

Watch her race to work with an umbrella cradled on her shoulder (ooh!), a latte in one hand, her PC slipping from the other (aah!), and keys dangling from her mouth (collective gasp!).

Put a stop to the morning circus with Snap Design laptop bags.

Handmade by Portland designer Michelle Kline, the perky vinyl bags run rings around clunky computer totes. Fresh colors and mod shapes are more boho than Bozo; heavy-duty, waterproof construction keeps precious cargo rain and caffeine free; and ingenious pockets take care of extra props.

For sideshows, Kline also offers iPod wallets and makeup pouches.

You know, in case you aren’t an eight-armed human.
