Namaste Everday

The other day I was on the Namaste Love board on Ravelry and I saw mention of a bag I'd never seen before so, of course, I had to check out the bag. It's called the Everyday Bag and it's adorable. It's no longer in production but was available on Ebay for a very decent price. There were several bags from the same seller but I chose the pink. And when I say pink I mean PINK!

This is the bag empty:



This is the bag open and full:



This is the bag closed and full:



It reminds me of the old fashioned doctor's bags. It opens wide and has a lot of room inside with a zippered section and has two outside pockets one of which has a clasp to close. It has 2 handles for carrying plus a shoulder strap.
This is filled with what I usually bring out with me everyday - glasses in case, sunglasses, 2 knitting projects, small notebook, reusable shopping bag, big wallet, camera, keys, 2 knitting accessory cases, phone and I think that's about it. Needless to say it holds a lot. Oh and I only paid $24 dollars for this bag. That was just a price I couldn't pass up!
I really do love Namaste products. They never fail on quality and the bags I've purchased have been perfect for my needs. And if you go to the Ravelry group, Namaste sells "seconds" which are bags that were returned for one reason or another. They're inexpensive and the Namaste Girls tell you what the problem is with each bag. There are also other people selling their bags for a good price in that group. It's a good place to shop if you wanna give a bag a try and the budget is a little tight.

I love your new bag. I have yet to own a Namaste bag, but you are doing a good job of tempting me. :)

I too purchased the same bag in the same color and ditto on the love the doctor's bag style. I originally looked for that style when I took up knitting again, so this was a real find. I took this to Seattle and had two knitting projects, wallet, cell phone camera, paperback book, knitting tools, eye glasses, it just goes on and on! I encourage anyone to try this bag!

Cute bag! I have not taken the dive into a Namaste bag yet but have been tempted many times.
