May  2005

For the Month of May we bring you the Targus Jackie.  The first all leather Tablet PC - Laptop case designed for  women.

Designed for the woman who needs to be able to do it all, Jackie's design combines a briefcase, Tablet PC or laptop) bag, purse and makeup bag into one easy to carry leather tote that allows a allows a woman to walk into a meeting or through an airport carrying everything she needs in one bag.

The all leather Jackie tote has a padded compartment with strap to keep your Tablet secure, a section for personal items or papers,. spaces for business cards, pens, two accessories pockets that can hold a cell phone or a PDA, interior key clip, large zippered compartment, and an additional large exterior pocket that snaps closed, and if that were not enough the designer of this tote even included a separate detachable zippered bag for makeup or other small items and last but not least pink ribbon breast cancer key chain.

Even more amazing than the features this ladies bag has is the price, at $149.99 this bag is a steal. The only other bag I have com across so far that even came close to having all of the features and conveniences of the Jackie Tote was from Chanel, weighed six to eight pounds and had a $3600.00 price tag.

 

Targus is an industry leader of accessory's for good reason, simply put nobody does it better.

 

A place for everything and everything in its place
