From the Desk of Michelle Maisto: All I Want for Christmas
By Michelle Maisto

As the number of Top-10 and Must-Have holiday gift lists for professionals and the shoppers who love them grows shockingly—unnervingly—higher, I have but a single product plug/holiday suggestion. Do with the information what you will.

Casauri (www.casauri.com) offers four lines of carrying cases specifically for women: The Octopus Collection features clamshell-style laptop cases made of smooth PVC, which is offered in five colors: slate, red, kiwi, grape and black. The medium case (11.5 x 9 x 2) retails for $49.99 and the large case (13 x 10.5 x 2) for $59.99.

The Odyssey Collection is similar in design to Octopus, but the material is quilted PVC available in black, platinum, red and gunmetal. Odyssey offers the same size options, but for $64.99 and $74.99, respectively.

The Omni Collection includes a variety of refined-polyester envelope-style (top-loading) bags, which include a 14 x 12 computer pouch ($44) a small envelope designed for 12” laptops ($54) and a compact case designed for 15”, 16” and 17” laptops ($88), among others, in pink, kiwi, red or navy.

The aesthetically distinct Citra Collection is “a sunburst of pulsating colors and cool stripes,” explains Casauri’s Web site, designed “to transport you to thoughts of balmy breezes and sunny sands.” This collection of water-resistant nylon pieces includes small and medium envelopes ($70 and $80, respectively) and a portfolio valise for 14” and 15” laptops ($98).
