Today I took a single day business trip. It involved hours of driving and only a few hours in the office. I had to select a bag to take with me. I thought it could be interesting to share the criteria I used and the final bag selection.
- Professional – The office I went to today is the corporate headquarters for a very conservative company. While I like my more fun bags, I knew that today they wouldn’t go over well.
- Medium Sized – I could not carry around a huge bag today, nor could I carry a tiny bag. I needed something medium sized to hold all the items I needed but not look out of place in the conservative environment. I was giving a presentation and a large bag would not have gone over well with the audience. A tiny bag wouldn’t have carried everything I needed.
- Shoulder Bag – I knew that today would involve walking between buildings and in and out of a few restaurants. I love hand carry bags, but I just could not do a hand carry a bag today. I needed to carry a cup of tea, swipe & present badges and carry my bag. This made a shoulder bag the best option.
After going over my list of criteria, I selected my Petrol Sheen Make Me Smile Midi.
Great choice! The sheen leather is so classy and durable!
