Summer's Best Designs -Great Gifts For Those Going On Roads Less Traveled
There is something about summer that signals it' time to lighten up-especially for individuals who travel light-embracing experience over 'stuff'...
Yet daily essentials need to be carried around in something...and as gifts for recipients...ready to ditch the everyday dark (boring) backpack ...and slide on an equally practical-roomy messenger bag or spacious tote.
IMO A lot easier to carry and that means on public transport too (crowded subway cars!!!!)...these haulers come in seasonal friendly colors and prints--- and are made of durable materials...enough to carry a lot of weighty things, withstand any rainy weather-and last for many journeys.
