The Bag I Needed as a Lawyer — So I Made It Myself

The Bag I Needed as a Lawyer — So I Made It Myself

The problem with every “work bag” I tried 🧳

When I started practicing law, I quickly realized I couldn’t find a bag that was both functional and stylish. Most options were either bulky, masculine briefcases or uninspired roller bags. I carried one of those roller bags through law school — and while it got the job done, it was far from sexy and definitely not practical for day-to-day professional life.

Tote bags looked better, but they were chaotic inside. They lacked structure, organization, and security — especially when carrying confidential client files or an exposed laptop. And while I’ve always appreciated a high-end handbag, spending thousands on a luxury piece I was afraid to use daily just didn’t make sense.

I needed a bag that worked as hard as I do 💼

I was looking for something durable, elevated, and versatile. A bag that could move with me through a packed schedule of meetings, closings, and client calls — and still feel sophisticated.

So I decided to create my own.

From frustration to a patented design ✨

I obsessed over the details: organization, versatility, structure. I knew exactly what was missing from the market because I was living it.

The BETTA Bag was born out of that need — with a patented design that blends function with fashion. Inside, you’ll find thoughtfully placed zippered compartments and pockets. It’s spacious enough to fit a laptop, legal files, and even a pair of heels for a quick change. The back luggage sleeve makes it the perfect travel companion, and the removable strap lets you switch from shoulder to crossbody in seconds. It's as functional as it is beautiful.

Turns out, I wasn’t the only one 🙋♀️

As I shared my ideas with other professional women, I realized I wasn’t alone. So many of us were struggling with the same issue: wanting something that worked as hard as we did — and looked good doing it.

It’s more than a handbag — it’s a mindset 🧠

BETTA was never just about a handbag. It’s about redefining what working women carry — and what carries them. It’s about creating something that supports the modern professional: bold, capable, and multidimensional.

Yes, I still practice law ⚖️

I still take on new clients. I still work long hours. And I still bring the BETTA Bag with me to every meeting, every office, every flight — because it was made for this life.
For our lives.
