I guess you could jokingly refer to me as the bag lady. I have a huge collection of canvas shopping bags, but none of them compare to the one that I opened up my mail to reveal yesterday! A huge thank you to Amy for providing me with this amazingly beautiful, well made, and most importantly well designed shopping tote!
I must admit that this tote when it arrived was a lot bigger than my expectations. But my goodness does it do its job when it comes to cutting down on plastic bags. I filled the tote to the brim today with 2 shopping bags worth of goodies, slung it over my shoulder and off I went.
The S.H.O.P. totes are exceptionally well designed and come with wider than average shoulder straps to make carrying your load a breeze, and also come in the most delicious designs imaginable. I love the ample room inside, and even when filled to the brim I didn’t feel bogged down with the straps cutting into my shoulders.
The concept behind the S.H.O.P. tote is simple, reducing our dependence on plastic bags. S.H.O.P. stands for Start Helping Our Planet. And well when you have such adorably designed totes how can you not?
In addition to these beautiful totes Calypso Studios also creates absolutely beautiful, unique and refreshing pieces of jewellery.
If you’re looking to refresh your summer jewellery collection with fun, fresh and vibrant new pieces then this is definitely the shop for you. The designs are exciting, and fresh. I love that Calypso Studios uses hand made items in their creations. And not only that, but the gorgeous pieces available at Calypso Studios shop are so reasonably priced that anyone can afford them!
The colour of the hand blown beads in these Rio Coral Sundance Earrings are absolutely divine! And can you believe that the price tag is a mere $8? A great deal on an amazing pair of earrings!
This Tousan Green Sundance Bracelet is adorable, and a sure attention grabber!
