Guy-ccessory: The Executive Satchel

In my endless quest to find an unusual and distinct office bag, I came across Bodhi. This complete line of luxury accessories debuted last spring and offers an array of styles in premium material from satchels to totes, messengers to weekend bags. Joseph Janus, the brains behind the brand, brings his 20 years of experience to the accessory market, and explained, "We're a fashion bag company making our own rules and trends." Featuring exotic skins, unusual treatment techniques and custom bold colors (such as iced latte and popsicle orange), each of Janus' functional designs are unique. Among my favorite styles for Fall 2009, currently available online and at Nordstrom: A tequila gold ostrich laptop clutch and an Italian leather satchel (pictured above) treated in acid, which gives it a distinctive, asphalt shimmer. Prices start at $600.
