Click on style when it comes to laptop totes
By Kara G. Morrison

If you own a laptop computer, you already know that finding a stylish computer bag is about as easy as sunbathing in Michigan this time of year.
Gladly, a few companies such as Casauri are filling the void. The New Jersey firm started when co-founder and then-M.B.A student Emily McHugh turned to her fashion-designer sister for a palatable tote. Today, the 30-something sisters boast the first laptop bag ever sold at the Museum of Modern Art Design Store in Manhattan.
“Women tell us they look all over for something that is not masculine,” McHugh says. “There’s definitely a trend for this.”

Here are places to find laptop bags with pizzazz:
* Casauri’s bags are stylish and affordable. The futuristic Odyssey, made of quilted PVC, starts at $65, while the compact Omni — which comes in fun colors like kiwi and pink — starts at $88. You can find them at www.casauri.com or www.pinklap topcase.com.
