The 'Flashpoint' series uses Bi-Tech material and zippers, has reflective accents for nighttime visibility and best of all, has the No-Matter-What warranty! Bags in this line vary from a 140L rolling trunk to an ipad sized over the shoulder bag!

* This black Leather Briefcase with red hightlights (opposite to image) from McKlein is a stunning way to safely store your belongings en route to the office. Featuring a doctor's bag style opening, it is designed to carry a 15" laptop in addition to files, pens and mini accessories.
BOOKS & MAPS - hot off the press !
* Bradt is the only guidebook company to specifically cover this northern wonderland-and it's their second edition! Expert author James Proctor shares his wealth of experience for the area, highlighting Ice Hotels, breathtaking railway journeys and towns of Viking origin. And if you're a dog lover, don't you want to go just based on the cover picture?! 'Lapland' covers Norway, Sweden and Finland.
* Lonely Planet have just released a book of cultural secrets that people from all around the world, have used to make sense of their lives and environments. Like letting go of the little
things at the Lantern Festival in Thailand. Or learning to accept
transience by making sand mandalas in Tibet. Break out of your own
bubble with the Italian tradition of passeggiata, or celebrate the fruit
of your labour like the Barbadians at the exhilarating Crop Over
festival.
'Happy' brings these cultural
secrets together and shows you how to apply them at home to bring a
little bit of lightness to your day. And your life!
