Gift Bags Galore!

Here's a not-so-secret secret: I love bags! Purses, clutches, teeny, tiny little things that store pennies, gym bags, tote bags...yes, you name it I own it. I have a pretty rockin' collection of carry-able items in all sorts of shapes, sizes, colors, materials and of course varying degrees of coolness. I will admit I just added two gorgeous Hobo leather clutches/wallets to my collection which I'm dying to start using but too scared to throw them in my current purse in fear that they will get stained with pen or food or whatever else is collecting down in the depths of that ancient bag. (Melted chapstick maybe? Does anyone else have that summertime problem?)

But just to set the record straight, my bag obsession carries over into the gift bag section, because I know a good gift bag can be hard to find, and a great one is nearly impossible to hunt down. But this year, at Parchment (where else!?) we've found the answer to your prayers! Lovely, luscious, oh-so-sweet Smock Papers have introduced some absolutely breath-taking gift bags! For years we have carried their gorgeous letterpress note sets and greeting cards, as well as their fun & funky two sided gift wrap, but just this year they've released an amazing line of gift bags! What better way to dress up that special present? The colors are pristine, the line is eco-friendly, and the patterns are sophisticated and stylish but still with a hint of playfulness! What more do you want? My personal favorite? The bright blue. (Disclaimer: photo does not do justice to actual colors!)
