U-Bag

Gonzo – another victim of not just high Robson extortion rates but also a new competitor just popped up down the block.
It didn’t really care the big brand names, had a lot of the lower-​tiered ones. My only question was the quality and durability.

I’ve been in here a few times throughout the year to buy wallets, umbrellas and travel luggage. Prices and quality due very. Customer service is neither here nor there. They don’t go out of their way for customers other than ring them through.

Lucky me! I have a personal pre-​shopper. I went for lunch with a friend the other day who’s very stylish so I always check out her head-​to-​toe ensemble. On this day she had a beautiful leather backpack. Tired of my well-​worn MEC pack that’s great for hikes etc, I wanted something classier for carrying my laptop and lunch to work and back every day. This was perfect AND she said it was on sale for $ 70. The next day she texted to say she’d gone back and they only had one brown one left and it was $ 60. Off I went!
I think the woman working was expecting me. She knew exactly the one I wanted. It’s gorgeous and has a padded laptop pocket. It also has a lot of zippered pockets on the outside but isn’t bulky or too large. Right after I paid I noticed these wallet/​slash wrist purses for $ 12! Anyone following my reviews knows I just lost my wallet in Spain and I’ve been using one that’s totally falling apart. This one is just the right size to hold my iPhone, ID and cash when I’m out dancing but holds all my shit on regular days. It’s got a separate front zippered pocket on the front too for coat check money/​tickets/​bobbypins (you know — important stuff) and a detachable wrist band (perfect for when you’re on the dance floor and can’t put your purse down).
I will definitely be back the next time I’m in need of some handy and attractive items for carrying my crap.
