workbag stories from across the globe

Jackie Hall, development director of the Georgia O'Keefe Museum
uses her Gearbag on a daily basis for work and, in this occasion, play!

This is seven month old Gabriel in the Picnic Tote!
HIs mom Katie Dry and dad Guillermo use this as a Baby Bag -
now we know it will hold at least 15 lbs~!

Carol Shaw-Sutton's Toolbelt (modeled by Danica) filled to the max
This S.STEIN Toolbelt and two other styles of will be on the website by April

Carol Shaw-Sutton sent in these shots of her S.STEIN Toolbelt full of
tools for her job as a Fiber / Textile arts teacher at
California State - she says "before I got this wonderful belt
for Christmas, I was always calling on Danica (her lab tech)
to find my scissors, keys, cellphone, and even my tangerines!
Now, when I wear this belt, I have everything I need!"

Jennifer Quiles of Miami sent these shots of her son with
the Baby Case and Toolbag, with this story:
" My son was born April 29, '09, and I had the worst luck with diaper
bags. Not a single one would hold all of the necessities for an outing.
I never realized how much stuff a baby required, just to go to the doctors.
My mom mentioned that Sherry was creating a diaper bag and I was thrilled.
This is the best bag ever!!! I do not know how I functioned without it-
space for everything and anything, and all snaps up and you are ready to go.
My Toolbag also functions as a mini-diaper bag when on a quick errand.
Thank you so much for making all my outings so much easier!"

Miriam Seger is a set designer based in LA, and was on a job

in New York when she sent me these photos of her Toolbag at work.

Isabelle Mortemard is a designer in Paris, and works for the design agency
Aesthete also based in Paris with clients such as Lanvin, Yamamoto,
Cartier and Dior. She ordered a Studio Tote and Small Toolbag last spring
and sent shots of her bags in her Paris apartment, awaiting assignments!

My sister Char was leaving her house with her arms full of stuff one morning, her
Toolbag over one shoulder and across her chest - when she tripped over a
construction marker cord and did a perfect face-plant onto the flagstone walk.
The S.STEIN Toolbag was covered in dirt but broke her fall, saving her face
from untold facial and head injuries! We were able to clean it up
with several swipes of a wet sponge Char has a great boutique in
Santa Fe with a webisite: www.chardesigns.com

This is the Site-case of Alette Simons-Jeminez, a Miami based artist and art
dealer - this was a special order in black canvas with shade and lavendar.
