ever since moving to rainy portland, i find that i spend a lot less time carrying my expensive handbags.  it’s just not worth the heartache when a spring shower descends.  instead, more often than not, i turn to an easy, no fuss tote to get me through the day.  and these new duck bags from baggu may be my favorite yet!

i love that they have both a tote handle and a shoulder strap (which, by the way, also works as a crossbody strap, making it awesome for travel).  i love the bright, cheery rainbow of colors, and the fact that they’re light as a feather but surprisingly durable (i’ve been using mine as a magazine tote, and it shows no signs of surrender, even under the weight of the spring fashion issues).

yes, i love a lot of things about this bag.  but i positively adore the price tag:  $20.  how’s that for a thrill?
