If you paid a visit to my closet, you’d understand my problem. I LOVE handbags! I actually had palpitations when I heard that Stella McCartney was designing for Adidas. So now that I’m in the market for a new gym bag I’ve decided not to settle for the first Tom, Dick or Nike bag that comes along. There are a lot of really cool bags out there right now! Here are some of my favorites:

 

Kaunis – Stella McCartney for Adidas $$$$$  (shown in image)

Oooh so cool! This polyester bag comes in gray and black and has an amazing red lining. It opens at the top and has two top handles, a shoulder strap and an external shoe compartment. It’s not humungous, so it will fit in your locker, but it’s big enough to hold a water bottle, towel and several essentials.  This baby is so stylish, you might want to wear it out to dinner too!

Activa – Lululemon $$$$

Stylish and incredibly versatile. The Activa has a waterproof liner and has got special compartments perfect for holding you iPod, cell phone, lip gloss – whatever! It’s got a shoe stash and an exterior water bottle holder. Yummy colors too!

Puddle Jumper Gym Bag – Lug $$$

So cute! This bag made the “O” list! It comes in a multitude of colors and has a plastic bottom with little metal feet. Features a separated ventilated back pocket to stuff your sneakers and an interior bottle holder and cargo pocket. And check this out – there’s also a lower compartment where you can put your after-workout makeup and personals.

Koneval – TRKFLD - $$$$

Incredibly cool – simple and versatile the Koneval is a duffle with a fun twist of color and style. Ample interior room and an exterior zip pocket, plus an easy-access shoe compartment and two interior pockets for…whatever.

Too many choices…all of them great! Check it out!

I got the Yogoco Gym Bag. It has the coolest compartment for shoes, and is so stylish. + it is eco-friendly made from pre-consumer t-shirt scraps! I bought mine from Yogoco.com Posted by: Jenny2010 on Dec 22, 2009 at 02:34 PM

man, I'm behind...I carry my stinky shoes in my giant handbag! Cool bags tho Posted by: Karen on Aug 27, 2008 at 03:22 PM

The Kaunis is by far the sheikest and can most definitely take you from the gym out to dinner...although after Betty's post on the restaurant calorie counter...I may not be going out to eat for a while!! Posted by: Sarah on Aug 27, 2008 at 01:59 PM

Don't get me started on another type of bag!! My bag/shoe fetish is already out of control. I could comfortably walk around in handbags and shoes...nothing else needed...well, perhaps...no, that would do it! Posted by: Betty on Aug 27, 2008 at 10:03 AM
