A Stylish, Versatile, Eco-Friendly Handbag that’s Perfect for the On-the-Go Mom
When it comes to juggling my day-to-day activities, I’ve found that carrying the right handbag can mean the difference between smooth sailing and wanting to throw things. That may sound dramatic, but you probably know what it’s like to wrangle kids, shopping bags, cell phone, car keys, and who knows what else. Most purses will slip off my shoulder while I’m moving around, and crossbody bags end up hurting my shoulders after a while. Catch me on a day when it’s raining outside, my grocery bags are spilling over, and my purse won’t stay put while I’m getting everyone and everything in the car, and you’ll see a very frustrated woman.
To help solve that problem, I’ve decided to go a different direction and try out the Joanne Convertible Backpack from 88 Handbags.
We’ve shared bags from 88 in the past, and I’m happy to share another one because I love their mission and their products. If you’re unfamiliar with 88 Handbags, they’re a company that strives to promote strong ethics and sustainability. 88 is a vegan brand, and in choosing their vegan “leathers” and custom hardware, they look for the materials that have the least environmental impact. I love that they only use materials suppliers that are certified compliant for human rights and good working conditions; even better, 88 donates a percentage of every sale to Care International, a charity that works to educate women around the world. Care International works to end child marriage, decrease child mortality rates, and control disease. I’m so happy to promote a brand that works hard to make the world a better place. 88’s dedication to good work is evident in their bags too. The quality of the materials is fantastic, and they have a large range of designs to suit any style.
The Joanne Convertible Backpack is incredibly versatile, and I love it! The strap converts from sling strap to double-strap backpack with a simple zipper, so you can sling it over your shoulder or wear it as an actual backpack when you need both hands and arms free. The main compartment can be accessed from the front and back of the bag with two convenient zipper openings, which makes it easy to get into the bag no matter how you wear it. I love that; “convertible” bags often lose their convenience when you switch from one style to another, but this bag is easy to use as both a sling and a backpack. It also has two roomy side zipper pockets, which are perfect for your phone, keys, or other items you need to access easily. As you can see, I have the Joanne bag in grey, and it also comes in black and a beautiful bold blue color.
