"Saoirse" (pronounced seer-shah) means "freedom".

Saoirse is a limited-edition, deep purple leather tote with a stunning beaded stingray accent, truly a unique combination of sensuous materials available with a purple stingray insert. The pink stingray insert is no longer available at this time.

Saoirse is shaped like a tote and can be worn across the body for maximum comfort with the padded cotton shoulder strap or carried stylishly with its padded leather handles.

Inside Saoirse is a dyed-to-match deep purple lining of the highest quality, finished with a slightly waxy coat to allow for easy cleaning, and trimmed with leather at the pocket openings for added luxury. Saoirse has two specially-designed, large zipped compartments within. In the forward-most compartment is a cell phone pocket, several pen holders, a PDA or iPod pocket, "D" rings for keys and wallet, space for carrying your power supply, spare batteries, makeup, brush, and other "must-haves".

Also in the front compartment is a complimentary matching wallet (for the first 500 Saoirse purchasers only), L 7" X H 4.5", with spaces for bills, coins, credit cards, and makeup. The wallet has an attached clip and can be affixed to a "D" ring in the front compartment of the Saoirse.

In the rear compartment is a special section with padded walls, padded flaps, and a Velcro closure to safely secure your laptop, as well as 3 gel pads strategically placed for maximum shock absorption. There's additional space to hold file folders, writing pads, and other business paraphernalia, and the compartment is easily zipped closed with a double-headed metal zipper.

On the outside of Saoirse is a large zipped pocket in back for additional storage. The detachable, padded cotton shoulder strap is 40" to 51" with rivet prongs for variable lengths. All metal hardware is polished gun metal and is lead-free.

"At my age getting attention requires something extraordinary. Well, guess what? The J'Tote Saoirse has gotten me lots of attention and I never would have guessed that would be a benefit of ownership. Men, women, geeks, they all snap their heads around, squint (assumably looking for a well-known brand name) and then inch closer and closer until they are close enough to say something along the lines of, "Where'd you get that?" Well, that's what the women say anyway. The men just look, but the envy is palpable. Anyway, I'll take it where I can get it. Oh, and yeah, it's a great bag. Love, love, love the padded strap. It's a little bit of a bottomless pit until you learn to use the wallet, all of the pockets, snap clips, etc. I'm learning ... and getting lots of attention. Whoo Hoo! Thanks, Jeri!"
