Autumn Exotic

Isn't this a beautiful bag? The orange and blue are a great combination (very popular right now, too), but I especially like the combination of stripes with that exotic, rather ethnic print on top. This $23 bag, handmade by Jillyd Bags, is 7.5" high, 11.25" wide and has sturdy shoulder straps that will be sure to withstand whatever you put inside this divided-pocket bag. In addition to the great colours and prints, the clean, simple lines of this bag are so lovely - and when it comes to bold prints like these, simple lines in the finished product are essential. It closes with a magnetic snap, so all of your goodies are kept inside safe and sound but without a tie or flap that would distract from the chic modernity of this bag.

For those of you in my home state of Michigan, Jillyd Bags will be at a craft show this Saturday in Zeeland, Michigan, at Zeeland Christian School from 9-3. (Y'all know I love supporting hometown folks.)

At $23, it's a real steal, and Jillyd has many gorgeous bags in her shop for all tastes and at really affordable prices for such pretty bags, too. Happy browsing!
