These Bags Really Pack a Pouch

 Even as a 13–year-old, Jennifer Dorn knew that there could be a perfect bag, one that could be both a purse and a “diabetic pack.” Now in her late 20s, Dorn has founded a company that marries the pack with what we think is a very stylish everyday handbag. It also combines a slightly larger pack with a trendy messenger bag, for men or women. Both items come with many pockets for any kind of everyday gear as well as a detachable medical pouch – with places for a meter, a lancet, a lancing device, two kinds of insulin vials, test strips, used test strips and so on, including a watertight ice pocket to keep insulin cool. The handbags come in black, ruby, and chocolate and the messenger bags come in navy and gray. Marrying a pack with a purse can be difficult, since many women have different purses for different needs – thus, the benefit of the detachable pouch. And Dorn wants to expand: her next design will be a larger “mommy bag.” See the designs for yourself at www.adorndesigns.com.
