5 Ways To Simplify Traveling With Tech
"Being able to easily remove your laptop and/or tablet for security checks and to access during flight is critical if you're looking to make your travel smoother.

The material of the bag is strong and durable and the interior is just right for carrying my laptop, iPad, Kindle, camera and a few lenses." – May 9, 2012

"We love bags. But we're fussy. We've put countless different bags through the 'carry-on test', both domestically and for long-haul flights, but nothing had ever wowed us. Until we met The O.G." – September 1, 2011
LONNY MAGAZINE
"If you want it done right, sometimes you just have to do it yourself. That’s what Helen Lo, mother of two, did to create bags that travel light while still offering much-needed storage. With the help of her sons, Lo designed two bags: the O.G. (overnight and gym) and the T.T. (travel tote). The bags are unassuming from the outside, but, as shown in Lo & Sons’ video, what fits in them is almost magic." – July 8, 2011
CORPORETTE
"I must say, I was really impressed with the design of these bags. Love the lightweight nylon that they’re made of, as well as the leather straps — but the number of pockets and the intelligence with which they’re laid out is something else." – June 23, 2011
A CUP OF JO

($295) is an overnight bag made of waterproof nylon, and the T.T. ($260) is a travel tote with tons of pockets and a laptop compartment. " – June 15, 2011
944 MAGAZINE
"While the T.T. may look like just another attractive, impeccably made bag at first glance, there's much more than meets the eye. Opening the bag reveals several 007–worthy secret compartments. There are seven pockets in total, including a padded compartment for a laptop, and a sleeve to secure to suitcase handles." – May 1, 2011

Chic and Sturdy: The O.G. Bag - For Lo & Sons, It’s All In This Bag.
"When it comes to toting workout gear, most gym bags leave little to the imagination. And let’s face it: Sporty duffels just don’t go with designer dresses and power suits no matter how you style them. So it’s little wonder that since we got our hands on the Lo & Sons O.G. bag ($295), we haven’t put it down." – March 29, 2011

Pearls of Travel Wisdom – Lo & Sons Bags
"I wish I had the Lo & Sons’ OG bag when I worked in downtown Chicago and ran from the train to my office, switching from sneakers into dress shoes once I arrived. It’s great for keeping a pair of shoes (or even a wet umbrella) in the underside compartment away from everything else in your tote." – March 28, 2011

Style – Found It. Loved It – Bag Lady
"Love that this multipurpose bag has a shoe pocket. Love even more that the company’s backstory involves a woman in her mid-sixties who decided to create this line of bags and her two sons who quit their advertising and product-design jobs to help make it happen. The end result? A multipurpose bag that makes me cry." – March 18, 2011

Emerging Thing Of The Week: Lo & Sons
"Lo & Sons makes super streamlined, super utilitarian travel bags—or so they say. The fact of the matter is that while the totes would fit nicely into an overhead bin, they are actually the perfect city bag—just the thing you need if you don’t have an office and lug around your computer, a camera, a change of shoes, and a ton of nonsense every day. As if that’s not enough, the company’s story elicits the kind of emotions typically reserved for books like Marley & Me or Tuesdays with Morrie: It was started by Helen Lo, who, in her mid-60s, decided she wanted to create this line. So her two boys Derek and Jan quit their advertising and product design jobs to help her make it happen. I mean, stop it. It’s just too much." – February 28, 2011

"When I got back from my journey to Santa Fe I couldn't stop using my O.G. and in fact I've used it every day for work and love it. It holds everything; my work computer, lunch, gym shoes, and purse essentials. Somehow it never feels like it's too bulky like the other bags I've used in the past. I have since named my O.G. the Organizational Genius, yes I'm a dork, but all of the different pockets and pouches make it easy for me to be efficient and know where everything is at all times." – April 12, 2011

"I've been using my O.G. almost every day, and I love it! It holds a surprising amount of stuff for it's size, and somehow it never feels bulky when I'm carrying it. I've been using it as a gym bag, and the shoe pocket is perfect; it keeps my gym shoes away from the rest of my clothing, but folds perfectly flat and stays out of the way when I'm using the O.G. as a travel bag." – February 5, 2011

Michelle Haas
Sales Executive, New York Times Global
"I used to haul up to 3 bags to hold my essentials while traveling around Asia for work and running in and out of meetings. The bags have since been replaced by the T.T., which now accompanies me where ever I go. Over the past few weeks alone, it's traveled with me from Hong Kong to Singapore, Phuket, Bangkok, Guangzhou, New York, Virginia and back, and still looks and feels as good as new. Last-minute packing and passing through security checks have become much breezier, thanks to the meticulously designed pockets that keep my laptop, iPad, power cords, adapters, files and camera organized." – February 14, 2011

"The OG and I are taking a weekend girls trip to Puerto Vallarta. Packing for such trips can be a pain when wanting to only use carry–on luggage. The biggest potential issue, shoes. But not with the OG, I managed to fit heels, running shoes, sandals and flip flops. Shoes can take up so much room in luggage and the OG makes traveling with multiple pairs of shoes easy." – February 11, 2011
Rebecca Kysar
Assistant Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law School
"The O.G. did the heavy lifting for me on 14 flights in 30 days, keeping me organized, stylish, and light. It carried me through the blizzard of NYC, the cornfields of the Midwest, the wilds of Patagonia, the hills of San Francisco, the shuffleboard courts of Boca, and the endless beaches of the Caymens. Not to mention daily trips to the gym upon my return. I won't leave home without it!" – February 17, 2011

"Carrying my computer for work, books for school and my winter work shoes, I test the limits of my OG daily and have yet to exceed its capacity. Carting a laptop around for five years on public transportation, I had been searching for the perfect bag and I am thrilled the search is over. Its the perfect second carry on; I will never have to check a bag again." – February 11, 2011

"The dimention is just right for under the seat space where I like to keep my bag for easy reach, and perfect for walking around with it on my shoulder. The well thought-out internal pockets makes it possible to easily find items. Also they allow vertical organization which makes the load feel lighter to me, even though I know they weigh the same when the same items are all horizontally scattered in my previous bag which seems to take up a lot more space. This vertical orientation makes the bag slimmer which makes walking in narrow isles on the plane easier. The bag is quite stylish and goes with all of my travel outfits. The zipper was good for the most part, occasionally I had to use both hands to get the zipping going. I travel light and this bag is all that I need to carry on." – February 22, 2011
