Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.
Today, we’re liking this tote from Tano — on sale at Piperlime, but still full price at both Bergdorf’s and Neiman’s websites. We like the size of this, for a casual tote bag for paperwork — 17 inches high, 20.5 inches wide, 5″ deep — and have heard great things about Tano’s quality. It was $255, now $169.50 at Piperlime. Women’s shoes/bags: Tano Decked Out – Black
If you’ve recently seen a great work piece you’d like to recommend to the readers, please e-mail [email protected] with “TPS” in the subject line. Unless you ask otherwise, we’ll refer to you by your first initial.

10/20/2009 at 12:00 pmThere’s also a website that only sells wide calf boots: http://www.widewidths.com
The woman who runs it used to have a store in Manhattan, which she closed a few years ago to focus on the online business.

10/20/2009 at 11:57 amHmm, not a fan. I find that my papers end up wrinkled/dog eared if I carry them in an unstructured tote. Plus I like being able to set my bag on the floor (if not at the office, even just at home by the door before I leave) and this one looks like it would just flop over and spill out the contents.

10/20/2009 at 1:34 pmI always keep my papers in an accordion file and lose the dog-eared issue. But I do agree about the being able to put my bag on the floor. I do actually like this bag though.

10/20/2009 at 12:33 pmSorry to hijack this thread, but has anyone bought anything from Spiegel, and if so, how was the quality? I’m really digging that skirt that Corporette posted about a few days ago, and there is some other stuff on the site that looks really good. It’s so cheap though, so I was wondering how it would look in person. Any advice appreciated, thanks!

10/20/2009 at 2:05 pmYes, Spiegel can be great. We didn’t believe some of the low prices so we ordered a few items to look at and were pleasantly surprised.

I don’t like the unstructured shape of this bag for carrying work stuff, but for a regular bag it’s nice.

10/20/2009 at 4:11 pmI think the straps on this one look like that awkward length that’s too short to really put over my shoulder, but the bag is too big to really carry in my hand.
