• Large Tote – Everyone love this bag from celebrities to moms. With six pockets on the inside and laminated canvas on the outside, this bag goes everywhere from the beach to the gym to the farmer’s market to the airplane.

• Under $50 - Our Small Make Up Bag ($40) and the Sunglasses Case ($30) have long been staples of every Halsea girl. I love the small make up bag not only for make-up but also to keep my cell phone, camera and other essentials organized in my tote.

• Roller Duffle – I can be efficient if I have to, but I love the Roller Duffle because I can carry everything I need to get away. People love this style because of the Doctor Bag opening and the pink lining on the inside. It is a show stopper and a great gift for someone who travels a lot or just wishes she did.
