Namaste ~ It’s in the Bag! {Review & Giveaway #1}

namaste logoNamaste is a family owned and operated copy that specializes in handbags and accessories, geared toward those with a love for knitting. While these bags may be knitting friendly, they certainly aren’t exclusive to the hobby. You wouldn’t know it by looking at them that they were intended for anything other than toting a handbag with fabulous design and function.

Since my event teaser featured the Zuma handbag in eggplant, I thought it was only fair to kick off It’s in the Bag! with this unique wonder. It has a super wide opening, fast opening/closing action with magnetic closure and an accordion style front pocket.

How can you resist this bag? As shown in the video,  I’ve also found the Oh Snap! Pouches to be a great way to stay organized and transfer items from your purse into your diaper bag in a flash.Namaste Oh SnapI got a chance to check out their mini clutch which opens to include extra pockets and also has the same fast magnetic button closure and an optional strap. I love the extra storage and can’t wait to use it to attend an upcoming wedding.

Namaste Mini ClutchNamaste has such a wonderful collection of handbags and totes along with accessories to choose from in bright vivid colors.
