TTC After a Loss 6 Months+
Ummm, can I count purses as "luggage"???
Just got an email from HR. I have $350.01 left in my luggage allowance account. It's one of those 'if you don't spend it you lose it' accounts and I'd really rather not lose that much money.
I don't need another suitcase BUT, I prefer to travel with a an oversized purse (large enough to hold a laptop) vs. laptop bag AND purse. I'm getting clarification from HR but if men can expense their laptop bags I should be able to expense a purse (that happens to be able to hold a laptop), right?
So, assuming I can get away with an oversized purse as luggage, any recommendations for a brown/tan bag under $350?
PIPs greatly appreciated.

Just on a side note, if they don't approve it, are there any stores that sell both the kind of purse that would match what you are looking for, and HR-approved luggage?
This way, you could buy the HR approved luggage, and the turn around and exchange it for the purse you want after the receipts are processed.

absolutely: a large bag, tote, laptop bag = carry on luggage. I say counts for sure!
I'm dying for a new work bag and my work bags need to be large b/c I carry my files in them. I refuse to carry purse and bag/brief type thing. I LOVE BAGS.
Maybe this? The "Mia". How big is your laptop?

Theres also the "Alexandra", or "Kirsten" you would have to kick in $50.00, but so nice.
Then you should bring your pretty new carry-on out here for "work" aka shopping w/ Colinda!
Large end of standard. I need about a 16 x 13 space for it.
OK, found this (and it's on sale) :

This works, and you have enough left over for matching wallet perhaps?

My coworker has this bag:

only she must have it in large, not medium, because it's bigger than the dimensions listed there. It.is.fabulous.
Oh, and there's this one

Too bad it's $4850, since it's made out of real Italian crocodiles, which must be hard to come by.
And here I was thinking that was a great deal... OH four THOUSAND dollars and... umm. Nevermind, me not so gud with decimal placement.
I definitely think they should cover a lg purse since they cover laptop bags. I love kate spade bags and have this one and it fits my laptop
