5 Ways to Add a Little Tron to Your Life

Kristy Korcz — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 08:30:16 PST

ICYMI, Tron: Legacy is hitting theaters soon, and while I'll be attending the midnight 3D IMAX screening with friends in some comfy layers, I'm betting that there will be some mega fans out there that come in all dolled up as Quorra, Flynn, Sam, or Clu. And if DIY'ing your own costume is too much for you to bear, you can always throw down your dollars for some Tron-inspired accessories to sport at your own premiere. Check out a few here!

First Look at Hayden-Harnett's Tron: Legacy-Inspired Accessories

Kristy Korcz — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 12:00:28 PDT

I'm already a big fan of Hayden-Harnett's bags, but toss in a Tron: Legacy theme, and my fandom turns into obsession. Inspired by the digital world of Tron, Hayden-Harnett created a collection fit for a futuristic fashionista - two handbags, two clutches, and three leather cuffs ranging in price from $90 to $400, all set to drop in November, just in time for the Tron: Legacy premiere.

I'm a huge fan of the carryall and hobo bag, which not only would fit my day-to-day essentials, chargers, and earbuds, but would also totally tote my netbook as well.

Perfect Transition From Fall to Spring: Hayden-Harnett's Langly

GeekSugar — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:30:26 PST

Can't get enough Hayden-Harnett? Me neither. Just when I'm on the hunt for a new laptop bag for Spring (I'm about to retire my Ibiza after a year of daily use) I come across the casually-fresh Langly Tote ($300). The canvas chevron design makes me want to head to the beach with my 15" laptop in tow, and the brown leather accents create a nice neutral contrast so you can wear it with whatever. The Langly can carry it all with its roomy insides, and if you want some added protection for your machine, just slap on a padded sleeve and you're good to go.

My New Laptop Bag: Target's Version of Hayden Harnett's Ibiza

GeekSugar — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 10:05:17 PST

You've heard my gushing about Hayden Harnett's Ibiza, but I was stalling on buying it, even though I've seen it in person and know it's a quality bag; I just hadn't gotten around to justifying the $200 price tag yet.

So when Hayden Harnett revealed its capsule collection for Target, I ran down there, not even expecting to find a laptop bag, just some great accessories. Lo and behold, what did I see? The $50 Flight Tote - an almost exact replica of HH's Ibiza from their regular line (in the image, Target's is on the left).

The differences are obvious for offsetting cost: Target's version is made of light canvas with faux-leather trim; the original is made of a very sturdy nylon and real leather trim. I bought the Flight Tote and have been lugging it to and from work for the past couple of weeks.

To hear my thoughts about the Target Flight Tote, just

I love it for the same reason I loved the Ibiza; I can fit my laptop into the bag's partition intended for it, and put all my other crap (wallet, sunglasses, keys, cell phones) in the other sections of the bag, and - thankfully - my shoulders and back are not aching from carrying everything in one tote.

One thing that's not great for your laptop is how thin the outer fabric and lining is. The lining is a gorgeously printed-silky material, but as thin as silk, so keep in mind it's not going to protect your laptop from dents, if you get into that kind of situation. Since I'm gingerly getting it to and from work, it's fine, but if I were more worried, I'd slip it into a sleeve first, and then put that in the bag (there's plenty of room in the laptop partition to do that, in fact).

There's a long strap on the bag that can be used instead of the double shoulder straps, but it's not so comfortable, since it hangs so long - but, one of my co-workers who does have the real Ibiza has the same exact issue.

So for one big work tote that holds it all - laptop plus life - and is not only stylish, but affordable, I highly recommend the Flight Tote.

geeksugar Bargain: Hayden Harnett Media Carryall

GeekSugar — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 07:33:06 PST

You could obviously use any old bag to put your peripherals in to travel, but I like the idea of having a dedicated Nylon Media Carryall, like this one from Hayden Harnett‚ especially when said bag is over half off - just $22 - in Hayden Harnett's sample sale.

I like to be able to fit all my stuff in my laptop bag, but sometimes that's just not possible; and hey, the election's over and things could be looking better for the economy, so retail therapy anyone? I know I need some.

Fab Flash: Hayden-Harnett Gets Hotter

FabSugar — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 12:00:22 PDT

In addition to designing an exclusive line for Target, acccessory brand Hayden-Harnett will add a shoe and swimwear collection to their 2009 Spring collection.

“The designs are definitely '80s influenced, specifically 1980 and 1981. It’s very ‘Working Girl’ meets ‘Xanadu’ meets Memphis design. Women in New York City don’t have cars, we have shoes. I have decided to simply refuse to compromise style for comfort or vice versa” said Toni Hacker, cofounder and designer of Hayden-Harnett.

The six style swimwear line, ranging from $88 to $148, will include fun ruffled bottoms and keyhole maillots in their signature prints.
