Brand New [WEDNESDAY]

You Big Lug

Wednesday, February 14, 2007

Fans of Lug bags (Oprah included!) will be happy to hear that in addition to releasing old favourites like The Puddle Jumper and Tango Travel Wallet in new colours, they’ve got some brand new offerings. We want to scoop up their cunningly packaged Nap Sack, a blanket and pillow that’s perfect for on the road, kids in the car, or frequent fliers. Their new Freight Box line which is designed to tote everything from cosmetics to computer accessories, well how handy is that? After all, we all multitask, so why shouldn’t our bags? Lug’s Tango Travel Wallet in all new colours holds everything from your change to your boarding pass to your passport in one tidy little package, very useful now passports are required for any and every trip to the States.

Aside from their handy dandy, well-priced, brightly-coloured bags why else do we lug them around? Well, they’re based in Canada and we prefer to shop locally, plus there are no pesky duty issues when you order them online. Check out lugtravel.com, it'll soon be updated with their new products and where to find them!

Yesterday's Weekend Guide brought you local fashion, local climbing and imported Grizzly Bears. This week's Contest is for ten tickets for the new Vancity Theatre in the Vancouver International Film Centre.
