Shoppers

Tote bags nowadays are so dull, but I've found some fresh, artsy shoppers that are great for the fashion conscious and those still carrying around extra diapers and wipes for the toddler set. Although several of the designs I tend to favor are a bit pricey, like my favorite Lanvin bags, you can still find moderately priced tote bags from German based Heidi Nickels, which are a must-see in person and fiercely clever.

Whether shopping Target in the states or the small bag shops in Europe, finding the perfect fit is always hard to find...especially when toting around small children. I realize shoppers are still bags, but I find them incredibly (re)useful, environmentally friendly and almost always full of amazing detail. Our personality usually reflects the purchases we make so I hope you when you branch out to find your perfect shopper you choose a piece that is large enough to carry a few groceries (to save on all those pesky grocery store bags), a few kids’ items and a design that best represents you.

*Although I'm head over heels in love with Nichol's designs (the quality is amazing) to generate the best price on the costly Lavin bags your best bet is to search ebay for good deals!!
