Since we have been home for the past few months, I have been doing some hiking around the area. I was searching for the perfect bag to take with me. I did not have a traditional gym bag and did not want one of those. I wanted something that was stylish and functional. One that had a slot for my water bottle or my wallet and also can be hands-free.

I was so happy to find East Tote from Go Dash Dot. This is a  super-smarts underneath its stylish exterior with performance features like an extra pouch; which can be used as a crossbody or belt bag. Plus a  separate washable shoe bag and padded laptop section. Say goodbye to the black hole and hello to the organization with attitude. It’s machine washable and looks brand new again once it dries.

Another great thing about the company is that it gives back.  

In April, the handbag maker donated its entire inventory to hospital workers. The reason? Founder Hannah Fastov heard from a nurse in Nashville about how the crossbody bag was very helpful and during her rounds making it easily toteable, washable, and multiple pockets to carry necessary supplies. “It was just something I felt I needed to do, never considering the cost, which was significant,” she explains. “But was the right decision, and I feel it’s something we need to continue. Healthcare workers fighting this terrible pandemic deserve all the admiration and generosity we can provide, and this is our way of saying thank you.”

How could you not love a brand that is fashionable & functional by and for women on the go!
