"For someone who wants to be one step ahead and have something still quite exclusive, and not overly priced," Hitchcock recommends bags made by Misty M Designs. Besides being popular in Silicon Valley, Hitchcock has spotted the bags in cities across the country, including Austin, Seattle, Los Angeles, Dallas, and New York.
According to the website, each Misty M Designs bag is handmade in Northern California from hides sourced from local leather suppliers.
The "New York" bag can be worn as a tote or messenger bag, and it comes in black, cream, or brown.
