Thu, 16 May 2013 18:34:50 +0000 hourly Wed, 26 Dec 2012 04:00:11 +0000 The flurry of Holiday activity has an opportunity to mellow out now that we are past Christmas. This is a traditional time of year to take quality time with your family, visit the country side and renew your perspective on life as you get ready to affirm your goals for the New Year. Let go of your business daily worries and breath some fresh air. I plan on getting out to my family who live on forested acres complete with bunnies and Bambies. If the Conservatory is as fresh and forested as you know you can get this season, then join me in donning a Jack Georges Spikes and Sparrow Vintage Leather Backpack. This casual designer backpack is hand crafted from vegetable tanned buffalo leather. Soft, strong and durable, it has a vintage, washed look that becomes more beautiful with age. It is full of pockets and zippered compartments allowing you to be both organized and random as you toss your day’s rations and extra muffler in to the main compartment while maintaining a strong hold on your cell. If you happen to be so far out in the country that you have no signal, try something totally revolutionary. Leave your cell phone on the bedside table. You won’t have a signal anyway! The flap over has a tuck tie closure and draw string tabs keeping everything secure, yet still immensely accessible. Enough pockets and zippers to maintain a well ordered life, the Spikes and Sparrow Backpack has a zippered front pocket, two zippered side pockets to hold your accessories, a front pocket with magnetic closure, an inside organizer to hold your phone, PDA, and accessories, a zippered inside pocket, a zippered back pocket for papers of a higher security need and adjustable shoulder straps to accommodate hikers, strollers and adventurers of all ages and sizes enjoying their time off the clock.]]> Fri, 21 Dec 2012 04:00:08 +0000 Santa and his elves are getting down to the wire. If you still have shopping to do, for stocking stuffers, little appreciative gifts for your staff or nieces and nephews, remember that any Jack Georges Designer Accessory is the perfect gift. Their wallets are fashion statements and the clutches are a Lara Croft or Superwoman choice for executing the Quantum theory and space time continuum of a woman’s leather accessory. This year, I have bought up a quantity of the Milano iPad Cover with Snap Closure in red. I did leave a few of the red for you, though, as well as the black. iPads have closed the generation gap usage of personal digital devices. I have friends, associates and staff who live by what they find on Search, the coupons and specials published on Facebook, as well as breaking news. So I know that a quality, hand crafted fine leather cover will be appreciated by all. The Milano Collection uses fine, light weight Italian leather to clad the built in silicon case designed to fit your iPad. Durable, scratch and stain resistant, it will stand up to constant and consistent use. The little snap tabs fold back as feet to form an easel so that you can prop up your IiPad for ease of viewing. The Designer made sure that the case perfectly fits the user needs. He allowed for a camera hole so that you can snap shots of the beautiful decorations that light up our neighborhoods this time of year and added a little elastic stylus holder in the spine of the case. Wishing you all the best of the season, may all good things be yours.]]> Thu, 20 Dec 2012 10:53:20 +0000 Christmas giving has become meaningful again.

This leather designer revels in color. His artistry allows me to express myself and maintain my reputation as a keen and successful business woman. The Milano Collection, Milano Half Moon, Chelsea, Lexington and Patent Collections all feature beautiful leather handbags, business totes, briefbags, laptop wheelers and accessories. My choice of the Milano Three Way Zip Business Tote is purely based on my preference at this time of year. With so many functions, meetings, gatherings, shopping sprees and galas to attend, I find myself reaching to the simply elegant in all I think, do and be to make sure that I maintain calm emotions during a season charged with high emotions and spending! Smooth clean lines and a color just bursting with the joy of life, the light weight, durable, scratch and stain resistant top quality Italian red leather is handcrafted into design and function perfection. I now carry my iPad with me wherever I go so the padded compartment comfortably houses this slim device, ousting my heavy 14” laptop forever.  The Jack Georges Easy Access Organizer keeps me in focus in the whirl wind of year end activity and I still have more than sufficient room for all my hard copy files and accessories. The Milano Business Totes come in warm yellow, red, cherry, red and cream, black and cream and of course black. Their versatility has made them a classic favorite.  ]]> Tue, 11 Dec 2012 04:00:29 +0000 Shoot a little color and vim into your travel plans for December, a highly traveled Holiday Season. This travel volume translates to thousands of business bags, totes, carry-ons and wheelers all looking the same in metro business black. It is time to distinguish yourself from the crowd, either in the board room or while searching through the endless array of black luggage circling on the airport carousel. Jack Georges has the perfect answer to the sea of December black and gray: the Milano Collection Vertical Laptop Compatible Wheeler in Cherry. Designed to race down the narrow aisles of crowded airplanes and gain appreciative nods from your clients, this laptop and business bag on wheels is handcrafted from durable, scratch and stain resistant fine Italian leather. I have one of everything from the Milano Collection. Gone are the days of straining my back with my carry-on luggage while getting stuck on someone’s elbow, foot, knee or bag. As I push my way to my seat, the tolerance threshold rapidly wanes on board. At these times, cheery cherry hues of red are not enough to save me from snags encountered on the aisle. That is why this laptop wheeler is so brilliant. Slimmed down to nimble weight, it still holds a 15” laptop in its padded compartment, overnight stay necessities, the excellent Easy Access Organizer and all my files and folders in the accordion divider. I use the open back pocket for the papers I plan to review in flight and all my travel documents. The zippered inside pocket holds my personal items and as I mentioned, for overnight stays, I remove the organizer in the large front pocket and use it for assundries.  ]]> Thu, 06 Dec 2012 04:00:59 +0000 December is the month that we get to put cheer, joy and color in to everything we do, regardless of cold temperatures and inclement weather. Gone is the gloom when you wear your Jack Georges Croco Collection Mini Three Way Zip Handbag. Temperatures may plummet but spirits soar when you adorn yourself in the very best.

A slender 10.5” x 9” x 3.5” it is spacious enough for all your personal and high demand belongings. With special pockets to organize your cell phone, other portable devices and your accessories, as well as a zippered pocket to secure your precious items, the size of this handbag makes it like the Genie’s lantern. If you are at all like me, all you have to say is, “I know I have it in here somewhere…” and up it pops out of the great void. Handmade, the superior craftsmanship of this timeless purse is pure quality right down to the bounded edges of the leather and the highly polished nickel hardware. Gift yourself or a friend this season and spread the good cheer; celebrate all good things with those whom you love and respect.]]> Sat, 01 Dec 2012 04:00:11 +0000 At this time of year, if you have not yet done your Holiday shopping, you might be in a bit of a panic. Never fear. Go to one of your favorite boutiques and buy your very special person your most favorite item that you have always wanted. That is so easy for me. Jack Georges has a wondrous selection of fine leather designer bags and accessories. All I have to do is go to the boutique I most often frequent and ask for the sumptuous and sophisticated bag which I have not yet bought. In this case, it truly is a brilliant business brief bag. Jack Georges’ Genuine Ostrich Classic Leather Briefbag is the epitome of business chic. Simply sophisticated elegance, I know that he will melt at the appreciation represented by this gift. Handcrafted from soft and supple genuine ostrich leather, the quality of this bag simply improves with time, becoming an ageless classic. Available in Black and Tobac, I chose Black for the ultimate in power and grace. This business bag does more than just look really good. It is also superbly functional. Structured to be lightweight, the padded compartment holds large laptops or files quite comfortably. The signature Jack Georges easy access organizer fits nicely in one of the three compartments with room to spare for additional files or books. Featuring an interior zippered pocket, everything you need for being completely prepared and well organized is contained in Jack Georges’ best businessbrief. Only the best is good enough for my very special person.]]> Mon, 26 Nov 2012 04:00:17 +0000 I so enjoyed shopping for my fine leather bags and accessories, that I added one more to my collection for my Thanksgiving pilgrimage to my family’s ancestral home. Jack Georges’ Saddle Collection 22” Wheeler is the perfect complement to my assorted luggage for my Thanksgiving travels.  Because I am traveling both by air and road, I needed durable, compact luggage that could easily wheel on board with me and toss up into the overhead luggage bins as well as squish in my rental. Already having pieces of designer leather luggage from jack Georges, I naturally went back yet again to the boutique. They know me well, and were ready for me I might add. Smiling, the brilliant staff directed me back to the Saddle Collection to a magnificent wheeler – bag on wheels that rolls easily down the aisle of the airplane and hoists effortlessly into the storage above. This particular wheeler does not have a laptop compartment, which gives me greater versatility for packing my personal belongings. But, because I have the 19” duffel bag, I can easily afford to occupy the real estate of the wheeler with my computer sleeve. Hand crafted, the wheeler is made from the same full-grained tough saddle leather. It has a zippered front compartment as well as a zippered inside compartment with elastic straps. My absolute favorite feature is the in-line skate wheels. These wheels are strong. They outlast any bump in the road and follow me in any direction I need to go.  ]]> Wed, 21 Nov 2012 04:00:17 +0000 Jack Georges has such sumptuous fine leather bags. Of course, now that I had bought myself the Spikes and Sparrow Crossbody bag for keeping my precious items on me at all times, I realized that I needed high quality luggage for my ancestral homeward bound pilgrimage. Naturally, that meant choosing one of the other designer collections from Jack Georges. And I found one very much to my liking – a wonderful travel companion, whether in the car or on the plane. The Saddle Collection Duffel/Cabin Bag comes in black as well as a lovely brown that coordinates well with my other leather travel bags and accessories. Handcrafted from tough and durable U.S. home grown full-grained saddle leather, it will withstand being tossed up onto the luggage rack and the jumping on the hood of the car trunk to get it closed. Handsome and distinguished, men and women both appreciate its clean styling. Since I will be travelling both by car and plane, I need a bag that I can carry on board with me. This 19" x 10" x 9 1/2" leather duffel bag is stuffed full with everything that I necessary for this particular trip, which is going to last for 5 days altogether. It has a convenient front zippered pocket large enough to keep my more frequently used belongings easily at hand. The zippered inside pocket is perfect for personal items. Top it all off with a wide, adjustable shoulder strap and a luggage tag, and I am good to go. Of course I have my laptop wheeler as well so I am fully equipped.]]> Fri, 16 Nov 2012 04:00:21 +0000 I read some statistics the other day on travel and was astounded by the fact that Thanksgiving has more travel traffic than almost any other time of the year. Some years it actually exceeded Christmas. With over 24 million people traveling by plane and 91% of travelers taking the car over Thanksgiving, I would start looking for your fine leather luggage and accessories now. It is important to be organized and always know where your critical paperwork is at all times. Avoid identity theft and keep your travels happy by storing your train and airplane tickets, car insurance, passport, driver’s license and anything else you need, including your cash, on your body. This of course, gave me the inspiration to take a look at Jack Georges’ accessories and find a lovely satchel or wallet that I had not yet bought. I found one. It coordinates quite nicely with my other personal "I'm on holidays" travel bags as well. Jack Georges has a wonderful designer leather collection called Spikes and Sparrow, their delicious vintage look, a style that suits my homeward-bound pilgrimage. The Three Zippered Crossbody bag is handcrafted from vegetable tanned buffalo leather. It actually has a total of five zippers – an improvement over the pilgrim’s bags. The top zipper keeps the cash and less frequently used paperwork completely safe and padded for my iPad. It even has interior organizing pockets – with a pen holder. The three zippered pockets on the front face are each assigned with a specific purpose, credit cards, personal ID and other.  The back zippered pocket is for the most precious of my belongings. I bought five; one for me and four as gifts. I could not resist.]]>
