You may have seen this post awhile back featuring my ‘Mia‘ from Oliver Bilou. Well Oliver Bilou reached out to me a few weeks ago asking me to launch a new bag with them. I am excited (and honored) to have this opportunity. They pick one blogger per launch, and the next blogger? You’re looking at her! So without further ado… this is the Brooke! What the Mia was for the workday, the Brooke is for the weekend. This backpack is perfect for your day off. Whatever you do with your free time, bring the Brooke along.
Most of you ladies reading this like coffee, brunch, yoga, and shopping. I know you. Because I am you. So if you’re wondering what you are going to do with this backpack, let me tell you. For me, this backpack goes to get coffee, and then goes to the mall. It gets packed for yoga, and then it runs errands. It is filled with snacks, water, and maybe even a change of pants. Does this sound like something you probably need? Yes!!
I also see this bag for moms! I’m not a mom (obviously) but I feel like if you are a mom, you should totally use this backpack as a diaper bag. It has all kinds of zippers and pockets for everything you need for a big day with out with baby. Or if your kids are a little older, fill it with cups, toys, snacks, and whatever else children require. I do adult sometimes, but not at the mom level. If you are a mom, please tell me if any of this sounds at all correct!
And to all of you adventurers! How great would this be to take on a hike? Or for a festival? Or for travel? You guys! I wish so badly that I would have had this backpack in Europe. Instead we used Tony’s old backpack from college! And you know that was so not cute. The Brooke is plenty big enough to fit a camera, umbrella, and a few too many souvenirs. If you read up on our Euro cruise, you know I bought a few (or 5) too many things. The Brooke is a MAJOR upgrade to that worn-out backpack you’ve been carrying around traveling.
Something that is really cool about this backpack (and that I have not seen before) is that you can wear it like a purse. Extend the backpack straps long and then pull on the handle. It transforms into a shoulder/cross-body purse. I know that is hard to visualize. I have some photos of it being used that way. Scroll back up to check it out. It’s nice to have options, and like I said, I’ve never seen that before! I love that this bag is so versatile! Another reason you need this in your life!
