When it comes to certain things, I am a big time brand loyalist. You would never be able to convince me that there is a cupcake better than Sprinkles or makeup bags than hold-up like Kate Spade. I love Apple products and NARS make-up is my favorite – and that’s that. I’m sure I could think up more examples of brands that I stick by but right now I want to talk about a brand that I have a particularly strong loyalty for: Lo & Sons.
I’ve talked about the company before (here) and how I love that the business was founded by a mother (Lo) and her two sons in a quest to design the best carryall possible… What they created were bags (just two to start with, the O.G. and T.T.) that were clean-lined, extremely efficient, and light weight. Sally and I could not be more thankful that the brothers sent us O.G. bags of our own almost a year ago. They literally thought of everything… Built-in organization (I love showing off all the pockets and dividers), comfortable handles, an interior hidden pocket accessible from the outside for your gym shoes, and light-colored interior fabrics that keep your stuff from getting lost. Their bags are beyond perfect for taking to the office, to the gym, to after work meet ups… I basically convince everyone I know that they need a Lo & Sons bag.
And since this is the time of summer travel I though I would showcase the O.G. bag in one of it’s fun new colors – Royal Blue – and how I would pack it for a summer get-away! Did I forget to mention that it’s the perfect carry on bag? You can literally stuff it to the brim and it fits perfectly “under the seat in front of you.” Laptop, iPad, books and magazines, a change of shoes, a blanket for the cold flight, make-up bag, pouches full of other nonsense, and all your travel must-haves will be right at home and super organized in the O.G.!
Right now you can you scoop up your own Lo & Sons bag and receive 25% off with their “share and save” initiative. Sally and I have our bags in black but we are seriously lusting over their new raspberry and royal blue colors! Cheers to faithful brand loyalty.

confession, i have this weird obsession with carry-on bags. because i have a serious case of being a travel-bug, i'm constantly on the hunt for a new swanky carry-on. i'm traveling a lot this summer and this bag kind of looks like perfection and just what i need. you girls rock!!! happy monday!
I really like this post. I love travelling with items such as these. That bag is really nice. I did not kow much about, but will def. consider them now!
So talk to me about shoulder comfort when fully loaded. We travel a lot (and long distances) and I use an old Vera Bradley carryon that my Hubs HATES to carry as he claims it is "so" uncomfortable. Also, know you adorable ladies are per-kids, but I'm considering this as a baby bag of sorts. The typical baby bags are terrible looking and the Hubs said a firm "no" to my request for the prada baby bag. Wonder why…LOL. Would love your thoughts!
wow – great graphic and round up of products! I am doing a lot of traveling this summer and definitely need to think smart about efficient packing!

Here&Now
I want that bag so badly!! Sadly am on a shopping ban right now…and I love the lavender interior of the black one – I rarely buy black, but I would get that bag in black!
I love it all…the bag and everything you'd put in it. I hadn't heard of that brand before…..hmmmm…sounds like the ideal travel bag.
I so feel you on the brand loyalty thing. There may be other good lines out there, but when it comes to certain things, I find what I like and then I STICK to it. I'm so intrigued by this bag, your rave has me thinking it might be an amazing product to feature on my own site, what with the organizational benefits and all. Thanks for putting this on my radar!!
I could not love that bag more! I have the OMG, a bit smaller, but I love it! It's perfect.
I just took an intense Eurotrip, and at every train station and airport I commented to myself how badly I need a more organized carry on bag. Lo&Sons might be it!
