Style Notes: Mixed Bags

The best bags are ones that can go anywhere and do anything, and a new line at jb and me is gearing up to be this season’s trademark sidekick.

While the Haute Shore brand of bags is a departure from what the store usually carries, Store Manager Laura Flom is already seeing them sell fast. 

“Everyone loves athleisure styles and the bags coincide with those looks,” said Flom, adding that the neoprene fabric (think scuba gear) is easy to clean and is great for travel, heading to the gym or everyday use. 

Not only do the bags catch your eye in camouflage and star motifs, but they hold up to the demands of busy life. The large, rectangle weekender bags offer snaps that take in and slim the container down for a more trim version. Also, each bag comes with a smaller clutch inside for makeup, cell phones, cash and other compact items. Another smart addition is the clip feature that allows for a quick grab for keys that always sink to the bottom. Both the clutch and clip give easy access to the essentials. Bags are available for $84 each. 

“It’s important to have a fun and trendy handbag to carry essentials around that expresses your style too,” Flom said.
