To Have and to Hold

Ring, ring, ring went your cell phone.
Ping, ping, ping went your AIM.
Ding, ding, ding went your poor little laptop as it fell to the floor with a craaash.

Not music to your ears, either. But bag maker Kelly Marie Baugh can pack your portables in harmonious style.

The Nashville-based designer customizes sturdy, lined, and Scotchgarded sleeves and clutches. Send her your needs and dimensions. Baugh sources fabrics from all over (Ikea, vintage denim, and Amy Butler are current faves) and e-mails you swatches and photos for inspiration.

The clumsy will appreciate optional fillers like thin foam and quilting. Details like deep or shallow pockets, nooks for power cords, and shoulder straps will keep the Geek Squad at arm’s length.

Or in your case, just out of it.
