Soothie Ranch Melissa Beth Designs Bag Giveaway

From The Soothie Ranch: "My laptop is my obsession. It's my constant companion, and anywhere providing wi-fi is by default my new best friend. Now, I hate to admit this, but my companion speaks something else of me...my gullibility. The nice man at the computer store assured me the carrying case I was buying to protect my laptop was top of the line and discreet. "Oh yes, that looks great on you. Very stylish." So, as my laptop and I scurry around the city, its big case that screams 'computer' is a constant reminder to check to see if the sales people are on commission before I make any more fashion minded purchases. But in my defence, the choices were black, grey, and...black.

Now, had I stumbled upon Melissa Beth Designs a few months earlier, my laptop tote would be anything but boring and black, and that helpful salesmen would have had to talk someone else into one of his 'fashionable' totes. Noticing a definite void in the market place, Melissa Beth Designs was one of the first designers to offer women stylish, functional laptop totes. Combining vibrant colours with complimenting fabrics, Melissa Beth Designs aims to make women the fashionable standouts they deserve to be. All the while, allowing them to safely courier their laptops (with ample room for accessories) from 'a' to 'b' to 'z,' and everywhere in between with confidence.

My personal favourite? Melissa Beth Designs Sweet Seventeen laptop tote. Of course I'm torn on colour choice, and managed to narrow it down to the pink licorice or barely beige. These colours not your style? The Sweet Seventeen is available in 5 amazing colour choices. Featuring a canvas outer body with satin brocade inside lining and genuine leather trim, this Teflon coated (think easy clean up ladies!) laptop tote even has a side cell phone pocket for your other trusty sidekick. Not the size you need? Melissa Beth Designs offers laptop totes designed for your 12" mini all the way up to your 17" giant.


Achieving the initial goal of allowing women options other than the "BULKY BLACK BORING laptop bag," Melissa Beth Designs has branched into makeup cases, lifestyle bags, and even a men's line of laptop totes - because they shouldn't have to be slaves to boring either!

Their makeup case line stays true to the original styling of Melissa Beth Designs totes: vibrant, exciting colours and patterns meet practicality. The Kiss and Makeup case comes complete with removable pouches, brush holders, and double-sided zippered compartments.

From the lifestyle line I have to mention the Baby-Umptious diaper bag. It's amazing colour choices, and practical features will make it a must have on any mommy's list. The lining is completely 'wipeable,' and it boasts a stain resistant body. My favourite feature? The shoulder strap is detachable and it comes complete with backpack conversion straps - carry it how you like!
