{wanna snoop inside my Gussy bag?}

By Gussy Sews on May 15, 2012
in for fun, Gussy

Last week I shared over on The Small Things Blog everything I carry inside my Gussy tote and today I invite you to click over + take a peek. Or snoop. Or stare — whatever you wanna call it :)

Warning: this may look like a lot, but the truth is I could fit even more inside this bag…

We’ve had a tote/diaper bag inside the shop for years. It’s my favorite item to carry so it made perfect sense a few years ago to offer it, but it’s also been one of our best-sellers. Since first introducing it we’ve grown the line to include two new styles of bags {market totes + glam totes [see a closer look at our glam totes]}, which has been really fun.

We’ve also modified our tote/diaper bag to include three larger pockets, in addition to a medium-sized pocket.

Did you see, yesterday’s shop update includes THREE new tote/diaper bags?

Shall I go on? ;) Our bags are also super lightweight, super durable, and super sassy. I think the sassiness comes from that giant signature ruffle. Yes, I blame it on the ruffle…. ha!

Now head over to Kate of The Small Things Blog and snoop inside my Gussy bag! :)

*NEW* tote/diaper bags — so fresh, perfect for spring + summer!

It’s Monday, and don’t you think for a second that just because I was out of the country last week I don’t have new products waiting for you in the shop. Cuz I do, tee hehe!

And they’re soooo cheery + bright, which makes them even more fun! :D

I think my favorite category update is our tote/diaper bag. Each bag has one medium-sized pocket and three larger pockets, plus a giant ruffle across the front {our signature look!} and the cutest lite green lining print.

A little girl reached for my pink sunglasses and put them on so quickly that I knew deep in our hearts we were sisters. In one swoosh the glasses were on and so was her sass. I think when you’re a fun, spunky girl you gravitate towards other fun, spunky girls. Because that’s clearly what [...]
