You don’t have to dance to have Texas style (but it helps) if you swing a western bag across your shoulder.  This one is tooled leather with pockets and a longer, adjustable strap.  It fits comfortably across your body and holds all your stuff.   $99.50. 

Do you need a graduation gift?  

Leather travel pieces not only look great, they wear well and get better with age.  Smaller, personal pieces work hard to keep you organized.  Embossed leather has a western feel and comes in colors like red, tan, black and chocolate.   Rolling briefs hold all your office needs while on the road, and cosmetic bags are made to fit over the handle of the smaller rolling suitcase.  Or choose a duffel for weekend travel…what grad wouldn’t love one of these as a graduation gift? 

Update January 2012:  These items are sold out and no longer in stock at Ann’s.
