This past weekend was wonderful. I was so lucky to have two of my college roommates in town for a visit. There is something about getting together with old pals that just always warms my heart. one of the terrific things we did was take some long walks up and down the boardwalk. and of course while I was walking, I of course was checking out all of the beach totes. Some were good and others, well, not so much. So, come today I was on the hunt for a terrific canvas bag that would be ideal for the beach and beyond. Leave it to Longchamp to satisfy my search.

Coming across the Longchamp Artitude Paint-Print Canvas tote was a incredible surprise. Well, I probably shouldn’t say “surprise”, but I think you know what I am getting at. The large tote, 14.5″W x 10.5″H x 3.5″D, would be a ideal bag to tote to the beach, park or while running errands. The paint splashes are abstract but make sense at the same time. Being a canvas tote, this bag isn’t lined, but I don’t think that is a problem. double leather straps look durable yet not rigid. and a snap closure will keep your valuables where they ought to be, inside the bag. purchase through Bloomingdale’s for $350.
