For Ms. Botkier, a work purse has to be generous enough to move items between the home and office without becoming unwieldy. There is a fine line, she says, between spacious and burdensome. An office handbag should be large enough for a set of ballet flats -- but not cavernous enough for a pair of heels; it might hold an iPad, but not a laptop。
柏柯尔认为,上班用的手袋必须有足够的空间,能装得下通勤所需的物品,而又不能臃肿。她说,宽敞和笨重之间是有一些细微差别的。上班用的手袋应该能装得下一双平底鞋──但不至于大到装得下一双高跟鞋;它或许能装得下一台iPad,但装不下笔记本电脑。
