I think we can call agree that the saying "one size fits all" is a preposterous, laughable statement. In the handbag world, we know that finding the right size bag is just as important as finding a bag that speaks to your personal style. With that in mind, we introduced new sizes of our Art bag and asked our trusty Coordinator, Emily to give all three sizes a try. Here's what happened...
MEET EMILY
What do you do?
I am half assistant, half planner. I am constantly on the move and rarely sitting at my desk. When I am not assisting the President, I am usually planning meetings, travel, agendas and events for the office.
Where can we find you on the weekend?
Eating. I love finding new restaurants and coffee shops!
What size bag do you usually carry?
I usually wear a medium-sized backpack, it depends what my plans are for the day. If I’m going to get drinks with friends, a smaller backpack works, but if I am going to a gym class and work, a bigger bag for all of my junk.
What is your favorite thing about fall?
Vest and loafers!
