Hauppauge, N.Y. February 1, 2007 – 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 and crystal.

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.”
