My Nana was my idol and one of the most influential people in my life.<\/p>\n

Lois could do anything: sew, garden, fish, cook and can food. Lois could be anyone: an artist, a Scrabble genius, a book club leader, a prodigal piano player and a martini maker.<\/p>\n

Nana\u2019s theme song to life was Frank Sinatra\u2019s \u201cMy Way.\u201d<\/p>\n

No matter what Lois did, she always managed to have the perfect style: classic with a modern twist. She was the one who could wear the white button-down day to night, from hair down to up, sandals to heels, bare faced to a red lip. Effortless, yet sophisticated\u2014casual elegance, always. \u202f<\/p>\n

The Lois Tote<\/a> was designed in honor of my Nana.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the perfect bag that transitions all the facets of our lives\u2014work to play, city to country.\u202f<\/p>\n

[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”4408″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”540″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”960″}}]]<\/p>\n

I wanted an elegant bag to bring to work during the week that could effortlessly segue into the weekend as the ideal companion on a trip to the beach or local farmer\u2019s market.<\/p>\n

The debut style for summer has a durable canvas-linen blend body with a sophisticated red leather trim and classic bold stitching in white.\u202f With a unique and transitional design in mind, the center leather pieces tie together to offer an upright, tote feel. When untied, the tote expands, offering wide space and winged dimension.<\/p>\n

[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”4409″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”540″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”960″}}]]<\/p>\n

For interior organization, there is a collection of zip-top clutches with leather trim offered in three sizes.<\/p>\n

[[{“type”:”media”,”view_mode”:”media_original”,”fid”:”4410″,”attributes”:{“alt”:””,”class”:”media-image”,”height”:”540″,”typeof”:”foaf:Image”,”width”:”960″}}]]<\/p>\n

This bag will complement any wardrobe and become a staple.<\/p>\n

Who\u202f wouldn\u2019t want the Lois Tote? It\u2019s well made, multifunctional and timeless\u2014just like Nana. Most importantly, it \u202ffits a game of Scrabble.<\/p>\n
