X High-quality with sleekly designed for business setting.

Tim says:

This tag on a bag for sale in a store had so many mistakes on it, we’re only going to discuss the first half of it this week. But that’s still a lot!

• “High-quality”, with a hyphen, is an adjective. But there’s no noun immediately after it, so it shouldn’t have a hyphen. (or, you could say “A high-quality bag”)
• There are several ways to fix “with sleekly designed.” Either “with (a) sleek design” or “sleekly designed” (no “with”) would be better.
• “Business setting” should have “a” before it.

O High quality and sleekly designed for a business setting.
