For me, this time of year is always a bit busy with travel. The best of the industries trade shows and design fairs are all held over the coming months and my numerous trips to the southern states certainly rack up the frequent flyer points! Wanting to travel ever so stylishly,as always, I think the Houndstooth Weekender Bag is to be my next accessory investment. Designed by the fabulous fellows at Citta Design, transatlantic homewares and accessory wholesalers. Big enough to fit all those winter woollies yet compact enough to use as cabin baggage and avoid those ghastly airport cues!!! I'm so in love with classic styles at the moment, houndstooth, herringbone, french ticking and as we all know - black and white will never date. The Houndstooth Weekender comes with sturdy leather straps including a nice long shoulder strap, is fully lined and has security pockets tucked neatly inside. The best part of the deal ..........this bag is only $69.95! Now who doesn't love a bargain?? (p.s don't mind the model- eek!)
