"Just like Gina, Lexie Barnes wanted some choices - something "fun and fresh" --so started her self-named company. Her background in performing arts shines through in the cheery designs and fabrics. I tested the 2007 laptop Echo bag (shown in the Bali Hai print) which is on sale down from $100 to $35! (The 2008 Echo bags debut in July.)

"Our bags are popular because our look is so unique," says Lexie. We offer strong, durable products in prints that are really fun and exciting. You don't see them on everyone else walking down the street. Like our customers, our bags really stand apart from the crowd."

Features: Fully padded main compartment; front zippered pocket for power supply and accessories; slim rear pocket for folders or a magazine; padded, adjustable shoulder strap, dual zipper closure, and comfy carry handles. Fits 17" MacBook Pro or 15.4" widescreen PCs. Made of laminated canvas with nylon interior.

Lightweight and stylish, it'll put a smile on your face, pamper your laptop and won't break the bank."
