Just because you've got to take it all with you doesn't mean you can't go in style, which is why the SHAILA Eco Chic Hobo Bag by BOA makes for a great choice and a fantastic giveaway. Made of vegan Chenille, its durability makes it the perfect take-along.
I find the bag's roomy interior and easy access to be quite practical. It fits over the shoulder nicely and doesn't slip away; and since the bag is so lightweight when empty, I don't have to worry about weighing it down with all my necessaries for the day. Mine is in the lovely Rust color shown to the left, but they're also available in a deep Purple and fresh Anise Green. The softness of the Chenille makes for a comfortable bag with a luxurious look and feel. The separate compartments inside ensures my things don't tumble all together somewhere near the bottom, lost to a dark hole when I need them.
***And here's a special SALE ALERT - Buy a top in 2 different colors, get the 3rd FREE. No coupon code needed.
Ready to win your own SHAILA Hobo Bag in your choice of color? TWO winners will be selected after June 7, 2011. ($64 retail each.)
