BRIGGS & RILEY INTRODUCES @WORK PIECES DESIGNED FOR WOMEN

Hauppauge, N.Y. – Briggs & Riley Travelware introduces several new pieces within its popular @work Collection that are designed to deliver the more contemporary styling and silhouette desired by a growing number of female executives. The new pieces include organizers with padded pockets for PDA’s and cell phones, and additional pockets for DVD’s, pens, business cards, make-up and more. Added features include computer sleeves with quilted padding, and a dual-purpose back pocket that slides over the exclusive Outsider® handle on Briggs & Riley Uprights®. The new pieces are available in black.

The new pieces provide the same versatility and durability that customers have come to expect from @work. And like all Briggs & Riley products, they’re backed by the Briggs & Riley Simple as that® lifetime warranty.

Jim Lahren, Vice President of Marketing at Briggs & Riley said, “We’re in constant conversation with our customers. As a result, we learned that there are a significant number of female @work users who love the functionality and efficiency the collection provides but who would especially like those benefits in a more contemporary, stylish silhouette. These new pieces meet and exceed their request. They provide easy, efficient organization with greater style, and further strengthen an already-proven collection.”
