About three years ago during the Christmas season I was in Target in Birmingham and there was this girl with the cutest red tote bag. I, of course, told her I loved it and she explained she had purchased it several years ago at J. Crew. I have spent the last few seasons trying to find a fun red tote so that I can festively carry my stuff around during the holidays. Honestly, who knew this would be so hard to find. I finally found one I really like and a few others to share with you

The top two are by the same company, The American Leather Company. The first one is the Austin and it has three compartments. It is greatly reduced and available at Nordstrom Rack. The second one is the Philadelphia and is actually the one I purchased. But I could not find it online in the red color. But I found it in this green and I thought well now that is pretty…and would also be fun to carry during the holidays. I found my red one at TJ Maxx for $89.
The next one is bit more affordable and from Amazon. It is the Montana West and it is under $30. It has a short and long straps to carry two ways and seems like a very good size.
Then there is a fabric version for those of you who want something really light weight. It is the Vera and I also found it on Amazon.
I thought this last one was just fun. It is also fabric, but is woven for a little texture. It is the Vince Camuto Dayah bag and it is at Dillards.
Don’t you kind of want a fun holiday bag? Of course we can carry these any time, but from November 24th to January 1st you can look for me in Target. I will be the one with the red tote.
Have the best weekend!
