Found! The Perfect Bag

Ladies, we need a handbag that's roomy, can hold everything from our cell phone to baby wipes, but we still want it to look cute. Sometimes that's a tall order.

I found these adorable bags, handmade with canvas (eco-friendly), crafted lovingly by a mom of twins.

And they're priced well!

The Abanoz bag ($35, seen in red) comes in many different colors (contact seller for information) and is roughly 14 by 14 inches. It's is lined with unbleached natural cotton and has two inside pockets and a clip for keys.

I also love the Modular Messenger ($35, seen in green) and Plane Leaves in Blue Sky ($33) -- all of her bags are great as an everyday tote, beach bag, or even a diaper bag. Plus, I prefer bags made of canvas or cotton during the warmer months -- so they are perfect for the season.

the perfect bag

I am a purse fanatic!! Esp. huge roomy bags! I have 2 bags I bought from AE last year and I love them, along with a coach tote I bought when I was pregnant, I can throw a few diapers, wipes, & toys in there & go. BUT I love these bags. I may buy one.. Actually I think I will :)

Totally not my style. I don't like digging through a purse. I like an external pocket for my keys, cellphone and my wallet insert thingie, and then at least one zipper inside the main compartment as well for pens.
