From plastic bottle to messenger bag

Since I have moved a little farther north, I no longer have the luxury of running home every time I need to change clothes for the yoga studio, or swimming, or as is the case today, braving the torrential downpour soaking Southern California.

In my quest to be a prepared and organized nomad, I could not be more excited to have found this awesome bag from Timbuk2 – the king of messenger bags. Currently on sale for $20 (from $30), the crossbody bag is made from recycled plastic bottles, and folds up into a tiny pouch when not in use. Genius.
