Custom Design

I’m honestly not adverse to the idea of bringing my own tote bag to go shopping…not just to the grocery, but to the bookstore, pharmacy, anywhere I might be picking up a light load of smaller things. My problem is that most of the tote bags, many of which I have featured in the past, are fabric. Eco-friendly, but also easily stained, and quickly worn looking. Not to mention, I often shop in a few places on a walk, and find many are on the small side, unable to hold my purchases without being stuffed.

Enter The Palazzo Patent Tote, from the unlikely source for a bag, Crate &amp Barrel.
Deep and wide, with sturdy flat handles that sit comfortably on your shoulder, this bag is adorable as well as handy. The colors are cheerful, and I love that handles are all contrasting colors…no need to be solid all the time. The large grommets add a retro touch, and make this far more chic than crunchy (there’s also the little problem of it being leather…not too crunchy, but it still isn’t plastic). But is gets the job of toting stuff done as well, if not better (certainly better looking) than any one of those other not-plastic bags.
The bags are lined with nylon in colorful, unexpected, shades, and have an open pocket for stashing receipts. They close with a magnetic top closure.
Best of all, the Palazzo is just $34.95. Order one, or two, from Crate & Barrel.
