Have you seen me recently?

If so, then you’ve also seen my latest obsession. INDIAN CARPET BAGS. When it comes to work bags, this black and gold carpet tote is my new favorite it bag. I spied this one from the windows of Shop LMN when we first arrived to Seacrest Beach and had to have one!

Each bag is made from a beautiful, richly hued wool that’s been handwoven into a flat-weave rug.

It’s super durable which pretty much means I can’t destroy it no matter how many files and samples I stuff into it. 

There’s also smaller totes, makeup bags, and two clutch sizes you can choose from in an array of colors.

So chic, right?

Each time I carry my new bag, it’s yet another reminder of how fashion and interior design go hand in hand.

Want one, too? Get it here.

HI,

From motherhood and marriage to the sidelines of Friday night lights, each entry offers a glimpse into the layered life I live—and the brands, spaces, and values that support it.
