Description

After 20+ years of carrying big, black leather totes with no obvious anything, I am slowly venturing into the world of colors and prints. If it's handmade or ecologically sensitive, that's a huge bonus.

This wonderful tote is one of my new favorites. I've looked at Sharon Eisenhauer's Haiku line for a long time, but frankly, I needed something inbetween the To Go Bag and the Ultimate Messenger Bag ... and this is it. The tote measures 13.5"x13.5" square, and is 4.5" deep -- big enough to accommodate what you need without being overwhelming. It has an exterior slip pocket on either side (easily accommodates letter size files or magazines -- LOVE that!) and inside, another slip pocket, a zip pocket, and a ring for keys. The entire interior compartment, lined in pink (Cordura, I think -- something very durable and easy to clean), zips shut. It has two sets of straps -- black straps that can be carried in the hand or over the shoulder, and a long, adjustable, detachable kiwi-colored strap for carrying messenger style.

Really easy to carry, and one of my most functional bags.
