The modern woman has plenty of shoes to fill. She’s a career woman, a mother, a wife and a daughter and probably more.
She often has to deal with a demanding schedule and a never-ending to-do list.
For days when she is shuttling from work, to gym to picking up her children, to dinner, she needs to have an accessory that is equally capable and versatile to keep up with her.
