This is my LARGEST bag update ever, and I’m soooo excited about it!

Summer is the perfect season for colors, and my goodness there’s a lot of that with today’s update :)

We have TEN, yep 10!, new Tote Bag + Market Totes in the shop. And talk about color blocking, yeow! For the past week we’ve been working like mad seamstresses {tee hehe}, getting everything cut, sewn + photographed in time for today.

One of my favorites — Neon Stripes market tote, don’t you LOVE orange?

I seriously can’t get enough. It’s such a fun, refreshing, re-energizing color. This print is also available as a tote/diaper bag.

This print has such a cute collection of birds + squirrels — In the Forest market tote.

Did you know all our signature ruffles are hand-ruffled on the machine? We love making ruffles!

This may be my FAVORITE bag of all time, Color Smash tote/diaper bag.

I love the chartreuse against the gray base, and then red polka dots? And, a turquoise ruffle? –wink!

Also new is this Blue Sails market tote, so perfectly named —

this bag totally reminds me of the dozens of beautiful sail boats that are moored in Lake Calhoun {where these photos were taken}.

Here we go with MORE COLOR! This Sketchy Apples tote/diaper bag is bursting with it, yay!

Remember how adding more color to my outfits is one of my goals? Do you have a outfit goal?

* * *

Our Tote/Diaper Bags are so roomy. Each bag comes with a medium-sized pocket + 3 larger pockets, plus super comfy shoulder straps and the ruffliest ruffle EVER!

Our Market Totes have been in the shop for a long time now, and I just love them! They are like a little sister to the Tote/Diaper bag. Super roomy + fun, but just a bit smaller in size.

Do you own a Gussy bag? Where’s your favorite place to travel with it?

Thank you Mary of White Peach Blog for taking the photos at Lake Calhoun! xoxo

    Do I LOVE orange?! In our house, we do 3 loads of laundry. White, Dark, and Orange. True Story. When I shop, if it isn’t orange, the question I must ask is “will it go with orange?”
    p.s. These are all so adorable! Now, must decide which one will go best with my orange. ;)

    Just ordered a Color Smash tote bag! It was so hard to choose a print. All of these are amazing, but red/turquoise/yellow is my favorite color combo. This (plus the wallet I couldn’t resist) are my very first Gussy order. I can’t wait to start using them!

    As you know, I love them ALL. :) I’ll be adding a few of these to my wish list – hoping to get one for my birthday in August. ;)

    Also, where did you get that adorable beaded necklace?

    Love the new totes!! I think I might have to snap up the neon stripes one, much to my hubby’s dismay. He does not understand the need for bags!!

    […] able to ultimately do more because I’m doing less. Makes sense, right? I’d share that this week’s shop update has been really fun! I was really bold with the amount of Tote Bags + Market Totes I listed in the shop, but you are […]
