I am a hands-free hunter/gatherer type of girl on the go.

As an urban person, my bag is a critical piece of my wardrobe. It needs to be waterproof, have inside and outside pockets, secure easy access zipper closing, be able to fit letter size paper/catalogues, adjustable on and over the shoulder straps, and be able to fit a laptop. Anything less is a deal breaker for a bag relationship.

I have found the perfect fit in my new “Rita” bag from our NW favorite Queen Bee line. This bag hits all the marks. Q Bee took the feedback they’ve gotten from customers and vendors over the years and used it to create this awesome new design.

VAIN has carried the Queen Bee line since the beginning (theirs and ours) and they have grown up along with the rest of us.

“Rita” comes with a standard shoulder strap but we have over the shoulder straps available, too. There are two sizes (to fit all my stuff I went with the large), three colors, and several designs. All high-quality PVC-free alternative to vinyl. Throw in a couple Walker net shopping totes and you’re packed for the day and ready for plastic bag-free grocery purchases. You won’t even need to call a sherpa.
