Hi ho, hi ho. It’s off to work I go.

Oooh! I am in love with my work bags!(Now that is something I have never said before.). I ordered the Rothy’s Essential Tote and Essential Pouch because they are sturdy, sustainable and washable. Germs-be-gone.

The tote is fabulous! It has two inside zip pockets. It is roomy enough to carry my laptop, a leather bound notebook, a collapsible umbrella, a small makeup bag, the Essential Pouch (which now carries a small wallet, keys, security badge, sanitizer and masks) and my lunch bag. I still have room to add more!
The Herschel l backpack has gone with me every day and carried my “extras” (Lab coats, change of clothes, shoes) as I prep my classroom. I haven’t needed to use it to transport any materials outside yet....no students until the 8th. I am confident that the backpack will be well used. I bought it at the NAS and the price was great.
On an extra happy note, I think my new work bags are going to pair just fine with my favorite trench! Never underestimate the happiness of having a good work bag!
Thanks for looking. Stay well and stay fab.

Great bag style! I didn’t know Rothy’s made totes, either, but that is a great solution to keep things clean.

High recommendations!!

Those are absolutely gorgeous bags! SUPER smart for your work life (and your casual adventures). You (and all teachers) are my heroes right now. It can't be easy. Wishing you a smooth transition to the classroom.

Perfectly organized! Those bags are so sharp looking, and great with your plaid trench. They sound really well designed for your uses, too. Good luck with the new school term!

Thank you all. If this week is any indication, these bags are going to get a workout and be worth every penny. I like the Rothy’s tote more every time I use it. I have packed it so full, zippered the top closed and been pleased with how well it holds my items with out losing its shape. It looks classy and not lumpy and bumpy due to the contents.

I find I like using the small zipper pouch like an over sized wristlet. It has everything I need for the few errands I go on. It can hang from my wrist or tuck easily under my arm, leaving my hands free. When I sit down it fits perfectly on my lap, so I don’t need to find a place to set it down.

Happy little side note: we hosted a drive through Learning Bag pick up for our families. All parents and kids stayed in their vehicles and wore masks, but we could see the excitement shining in their eyes and hear lots of joyful exclamations. The new learnings, guidelines, and technologies are a steep climb, but today we were rewarded for all the hard work. Those kids! They are so worth the effort. We will only see them online for the next few weeks, but I am eager to get started with my adorable new group!
Thank you, sweet Fabbers for all of your support. You are pretty special and very appreciated.

You will look great whilst doing a wonderful job!!

Best wishes for a smooth transition.

Mainlady, you are so gorgeous. How wonderful for your students to have a lovely start to the school year. Your bags are practical and super stylish, and then there is THAT trench with is so perfect for you. I hope you wear and enjoy it often.

Love that bag, it is so nice when you have something like that that really works well.

Good luck with the school year!

So stylish and well considered! Our students start back on the 9th. Staff training started yesterday, with an additional two days to help learn the new safety protocols. Managing a classroom during the pandemic adds a layer of complications that could easily overwhelm. Hopefully the extra planning and training will result in safety and success for both students and staff. It sounds like your schools have similarly implemented a safety plan. I sincerely hope it works, and that you and your students remain safe and healthy!

Great with your trench!

You sound very positive and organized. Bags look terrific with the coat.
My DD schools started on Monday, and by Wednesday there was first confirmed positive case.

Oh anchie. I am so sorry. That is of course everyone’s fear. I hope there will be no other cases. I’m sending positive thoughts and energy your way.

How is school going. My little grandson started kindergarten remotely on Monday. So far it is a novel experience although lots of glitches as to when PE and art classes really are. I guess PE was weird without other children.

Good luck at school, and really nice bags.
