Tote Bags - the Must Have Accessory for Fall

 
Charlotte McKeough was ahead of her time when she reinvented the brown paper shopping bag in 1996. Even New York Magazine agrees totes are this season’s must have fashion accessory. McKeough’s line of “Brave Brown Bags” are a witty play on the classic paper carry-all. But aside from having a sense of humor, these totes are stylish and practical too! Every BBB is made BY HAND using the company’s unique waxed fabric. I love Charlotte’s passion behind keeping the bags rooted deep in artisanal tradition. And so do her followers--BBB has expanded their collection to offer 4 different styles! I’ve gotten so much wear out of my classic BBB, it may be time to brave-up and try out a fabulous new tote for the fall.

Muji Gets Modern with Their Collapsible Speakers

The “speakers” category is really taking off. I was at a show the other week and I was amazed at how many companies were focusing on this product. From collapsible, to customizable, to speakers shaped like a purse—these objects are just as much about looks as they are about sound! There are so many fun ways to dress up your very own speakers for the next event. Muji and the Macbeth collection feature great lightweight options, and if you’re looking to customize any contact us at The Holding Company!
