Bags, Totes, Bags, Totes....

I am so very excited at some very awesome products that just arrived.

We have genuine leather mini purses. They are the most economical bag around. They come in black and have a very secure, long shoulder strap and they have an unbelievable amount of pockets in them. The pockets have zippered and velcro closures and are definately worth a trip in to see them. These mini purses would make a nice travel companion.

If you want something a little larger we have extremely fashionable totes. There are polka dots, animal prints, stripes and even spiritual patterns to choose from. Twenty four to be exact! These also have velcro and zippered compartments as well as a special spot for your beverage bottle. They are a great deal and so cute too.

If this isn't enough we have the cutest sunglass case ever. It is designed to look like a little purse, complete with handles. It protects your sunglasses from scratches and even comes with a free lens cleaning cloth.

These products have just hit the floor and already they are flying out the door. They are just too irrestible!
