Things I've Bought That I Love: Bon Voyage Handbag

Last Monday, I was at Eddie Bauer and found the greatest little bag called the Bon Voyage Handbag. Since my everyday bag is enormous, I tend to shove all sorts of shit in there: hardcover books, laptop, notebooks, a GOOD magazine, my camera, Jesse's camera and Gorillapod, Gin Gins, directions to many of the local registrars offices and a couple regional air cargo facilities, you name it. In a pinch, I also have toe tags and a pair of nitrile gloves. I love my bag but I often find myself wanting to leave it in the car or at home because it is so cumbersome to lug it around. Inevitably, I leave it and then I need it after all and.... ::huff::

So, you can imagine my sheer delight when I found the Bon Voyage Handbag. Its a mere 9" x 6 1/2" and has more compartments and pockets and key fobs and credit card sleeves than I'll ever manage to fill. Well, that's probably a lie but you know what I mean. Its pretty cabernet nylon and has an adjustable strap so I can wear it across my chest. There's appropriate room for my wallet, sunglasses, keys, cellphone, itsy camera and some mini bottles of booze. Its perfect for some cash and my ID when we go to a bar; its perfect when we're in little shops chock full of fragile merchandise and the space is tight and I'm trying to avoid breaking something by bumping into it with my tremendous sack of love.

The possibilities are aplenty.
