If your heart is set on a fun totebag for Spring, I heartily recommend The Artists’ Totes ($68). They come in three different designs all with bold colors and striking fun patterns. They are big enough to hold documents (or sketch pads!) and are durable enough to hold a 15.4″ laptop. I also love how the shoulder strap is a contrasting pattern.
My favorite pattern is the birdbath. I can’t really say why; I think it reminds me of the birdbath in my side yard growing up. The bags all have interior linings though I did not notice an inside zipper pocket. I would not be surprised to see college students toting these around the city and I just may join them soon.
I like all three, but I agree with you – really liking the birdbath motif. I think I like it so much because it's really unique – & it features birds which I'm in love with right now 🙂
I understand these totes aren't available till april or some such thing. At least that is what the website says. Have you seen them in stores? Also there is a new sweater/sheer cardigan with almost matching (to my eye) birds and I am in love with both the birdbath tote and that cardi.
