The "Essentials Bag"

I got this idea from a friend of mine from college, Jennie. One afternoon I was hanging out at Jennie's house and we were getting ready to go somewhere and she pulled out this little, zipper top bag and I asked her what it was. She said she kept all of her essentials (i.e. wallet, chapstick, hair things, etc.) in it and just transferred her essentials bag into whatever cute bag she decided to carry that day - genius! I am always fumbling through 3 different purses trying to find my keys or wallet that I left there and forgot about until I'm ten minutes late and trying to run out the door. I loved the idea and didn't think about it again for another 2 years, when I started Teresamia with my sister. I knew we HAD to have a line of essentials bags because they are .... essential!

So, last week I was putting some stuff in my basement and moving things around and found a box of essentials bags I had made and forgotten about last season and was struck with the cuteness and usefulness of them once again and put them up on the site. Check 'em out here!
