One more blog post today! Have you heard about this new fabulous bag? Here’s the top 10 reasons why this xrossover bag by 84Rockwell must be on your xmas list this year!

1. It’s fashion forward AND functional! When do you ever really find that combo???

2. You can wear it to run out to the gym, yoga, pilates, etc. and fit all your essentials (phone, id, lipgloss, credit card, cash and more etc).

3. It’s HANDS FREE! Yup, hands free! Seriously the best thing ever when running errands, loading kids and bags into your car, shopping, walking the dog, getting a manicure…….. you get the jist!

4. It’s super stylish – love it over a dress or with a silk top and skinny jeans. Pretty much goes with everything. Very cool ladies. And guess what? it’s so new you can really be in front of the trend with this!

5. It’s made in the USA!!!!! That’s right. U.S.A.

6. It comes in many colors and can be worn in many ways!!! See options below!

   

7. It’s great for holiday travel! and really for travel in general. It even has a secret zipper pocket on the back/inside.

8. My boys want one…. and they call it a utility belt – kinda like something batgirl would wear. I mean, if batgirl would wear it, well, then it must be cool.

9. Local founder is based in Chicago – and such a trendsetter herself!!

10. And finally, if you must have one more reason, well, cause you really don’t have anything like this!!
