Weekender Bag

If there’s ever been a bag that I’ve loved for weekender trips this summer, it’s been my Barrington Gifts large tote bag. Quite frankly, I really haven’t been able to post about it sooner because I’ve always had it in constant use the last few months.

Just the right amount of room to throw in quite a number of items. I brought this St. Charles Yacht Tote to the lake with me in July for three days and had no problems fitting in all my necessities.

I love that the inside of my Barrington Gifts tote has some great pockets and leather handles that are super sturdy feeling in my hands and on my shoulder.

Haven’t heard of Barrington Gifts? You might remember a post featuring one of their popular St. Anne totes, which I carry quite a bit day-to-day, here. Each Barrington Gifts tote is unique and adorable in their own right because of the huge amounts of personalization that can go into a product; you might never see one exactly similar to yours (which I love)!

If you’re on the hunt for that unique and perfect gift, I highly suggest you mouse on over to Barrington Gifts’ site. They have some super fun pieces, under $100, like this accessories case and even men’s items too, the original money clip is a crowd pleaser. Cannot believe I’m saying this in August, but perhaps bookmark a few items for Christmas shopping at a later date?

But for now, I’ll be continuing to use my Barrington Gifts tote on heavy rotation for weekends away, including Labor Day weekend and the upcoming college football season!

    I LOVE this tote! It looks like it would be big enough to handle even my worst over-packing tendencies…and the gingham is adorable.
