I knew I would need to bring a handbag that was amusement park acceptable and I left it up to Kolobags.com to find something that would satisfy. And sure enough, I picked up the perfect bag to pack for summer fun, a cross body bag. Since this is just the beginning of amusement park season, I want to share my favorite hands free bags to bring along to your fun filled park day.

I think Knomo had theme parks in mind when they designed this light lightweight, quilted and water resistant this cross body bag. The long strap and sling makes for some perfect fun in the sun. Knomo’s cross body bag can be worn both as a fashionable handbag or a functional body bag and comes highly recommended for your day in the park.

If color is more your style, then Pan Am Malay bag is your amusement park go to. From walking tours to roller coasters, Pan Am is functional and fabulous. The spacious main pocket can hold quite a bit, including park maps or even your iPod, if that’s how you roll. The front zippered pocket is an additional space to keep items that might need easy access, like your sun block and most importantly your fast pass.

And if you are planning on hitting the water park you are definitely going to need a change of clothes, which I obviously have covered! The fashionable Ful brickhouse sling is ideal for your incredible day at the park. Toss this backpack over your shoulder and go. Fit for anyone’s style with colors like orange, lime green, purple, charcoal grey, pink, and of course, basic black.

Up down and all around, amusement park season is here. Try carrying these handy cross body handbags to keep your arms free and available for all unexpected items (like the premier outlet mall we stumbled on after spending the day Disney).

You know how we Americans find a British accent irresistible? We certainly find these laptop totes from new British label Knomo irresistible, as well. From over the Atlantic, we’ve brought some sleek leather styles for the sophisticate in the cholet laptop tote. Then there are the more playful, candy-colored, una laptop totes that suit spring and summer weather so well with a quilted nylon exterior and leather accents.

Speaking of accents, Knomo’s laptop bags come with so many. Obviously, there is a padded laptop pocket. But, then they feature an abundance of interior pockets and an if lost tag with a unique identifier and an international telephone number. You can actually register your contact info, and if your bag is lost, the finder can call the number given so that the bag can be traced back to you.
