We never know what’s going to happen in any given day. One minute we’re out for pleasant cup of coffee, the next we’re planning a fancy-ish dinner out, which is why I’m currently loving our Astrid All-in-one bag. Its intentionally flexible design means that it can change depending on what I need it to be in the blink of an eye.

I’m a can-do kind of girl, so I’m partial to the backpack configuration. It has even support and Astrid’s triangular shape is perfectly set off.

There are times when something a little more surprising is needed. That’s when a handy zipper in between the shoulder straps close to form a slingback.

Or, I can just carry it around with me wherever I need to go.

Best of all, Astrid has all three outside pockets where I can easily slip in my keys, ID, basically everything that I scrounge around for every day.

With its buttery soft leather, Astrid goes from easy casual to chic night out without me having to worry too. Check out some of our new bags on poketo.com.

Comic Con, here we come! Join us this July 21 to 24 as we bring some Poketo goodness down to San Diego.

We have some surprises in store for Poketo fans old and new. Of course, we can’t spill the beans just yet, but we are working with some great new artists that will blow your socks off. Here’s a hint. We asked two of them to draw us one of their not-so-deep, not-so-dark secrets. Can you tell who they are from their drawing?

If that’s not enough, we’re also premiering these sweet totes this week! These won’t be sold online and the only way to get them is by stopping by Poketo at booth #4634. Get it while it’s hot!

See you all at Comic Con! We can’t wait!

Celebrate in red, white and blue!

We live with so many things in life and it’s all too easy to fill up a trash bag full of just random stuff. Then, there are days that we come across a story like Béa Johnson’s of Mill Valley, California. Amazingly, every week, the trash pick-up probably skips her house because there’s just nothing to throw out. Instead, she has a recycling bin and a tiny compost bin.

Stories like Béa’s remind us that everything can have a second (even more fabulous) life like our Street Banner Bags.

From street banners on their way to the city waste basket:

come colorful one-of-a-kind bags durable enough to go wherever you go:

Best of all, each one comes built-in with a story to tell. Just like this.

What around you has a great second life to live? Share your projects with us!
