Spartina 449 Sea Island Tote | Puppies & Pretties

I’ve talked about this before – but I love a good, quality bag. I would rather spend a bit more and know that it will last me years rather than buying a cheapo bag that only lasts a season. So when I stumbled upon this Spartina 449 Sea Island tote, I knew I had to have it. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find it anywhere, so I figured I was out of luck. A few weeks later, I found one on eBay, but way out of my price range. I decided to try and search again, and ‘lo and behold, I found one. Even better? The store had free shipping too! I placed my order, thinking I was going to have to wait a couple weeks for it (the site said it was a special order item) but then the next day, I got a shipping notification. When I received it, I’m pretty sure I screamed in glee over it. I love the print – it actually wraps all the way around the bag, the sides are different! Plus, it is nice and big so I can throw in a bunch of stuff with no problem.

I also love that I can use it with practically any outfit. It is bright and colorful and is the perfect summer bag. Now I just need to plan a trip to explore this area!

I know I commented when you put this on Instagram, but this is the coolest bag! We always buy a piece of Spartina when we’re in Hilton Head!

Thats so fun! I’ve always wanted to go there, but this bag makes me want to pack my bags and go right now 🙂

I have never heard of Spartina nor been to Hilton Head but I sure liked that bag the first time I saw it and again now. Super fun. Love your blue-green dress, too.

What a gorgeous bold-striped maxi dress. I love its colors and the pretty necklace that matches it. But I am in huge love with your tote. I am currently eyeing a similar Paris one. It also comes with a clutch and wallet as a set. Ehhh.

Ooh nice! How can you go wrong when it is a full set? 🙂
