TOTE YOUR HIGH-TECH TREASURES IN STYLE WITH THE NEW CROSS TOWN COMPUTER BAG COLLECTION ™ FROM CROSS

Look no further than the new CROSS collection of business totes to get your fall fix for fabulous tweed…or metallic leather. This great new assortment of bags lets you tote your high-tech treasures – from standard laptop to your not-so-standard Porsche phone – in total sync with the styles of the season. This new collection of CROSS computer bags, influenced by the gracious proportions of old-world travel bags, offers options to thrill every style preference from rocker chic to rather classic.

The bags incorporate all of the necessary pockets, as well as a protective padded compartment for your computer. Decorative touches - hip hardware, contrast stitching and leather trim – accent the different fabrics in the collection, from gorgeous tweeds and quilted nylon fabrics to the ultra-hip metallic-hued leathers. Each tote includes a complimentary accessory pen that tucks into the concealed exterior pen pocket.

Get glam with the new metallic leather totes in the CROSS Town Computer Bag Collection. It’s all about sophisticated shine this fall – giving a daily lift to the season’s saturated and sometimes somber shades. These new biz bags feature a stunning platinum-colored leather or midnight blue patent leather style (attractive, too, for the simple shapes and contours, as well as super-sized space).

The Cross Town Computer Bag Collection, inspired by women on-the-go in Manhattan, comes in four styles (Chelsea, Gramercy, Sutton, Madison). In addition to the two leather options, the bags are also available in brown or black tweed (perfect for all those menswear looks this fall), and a classic quilted nylon pattern in red or black. The collection ranges in price from $150-$390 for the leather models (suggested retail prices). The CROSS computer bags may be purchased at CROSS stores, at its website www.cross.com, and through select retailers beginning in September.

CROSS, the internationally renowned maker of fine writing instruments, accessories, timepieces, eyewear, and corporate gifts, is based in Lincoln, Rhode Island.
