We all know the power of the perfect handbag. You know, the one that fits every outfit, occasion and essential. We know that your beautiful leather clutch can’t double as Fido’s travel bag (he gets his own, obvi) and a crossbody may not hold enough ice cream and wine required to cheer your bestie after a bad break up. Enter: Our latest blog series. Each month, we select and assemble a bag that caters to a situation you’re bound to find yourself.
Now that you’ve gotten in a few tailgates (learn how to assemble that bag here), it’s time to mark the next item off your bucket list – apple picking. Whether it’s an annual family tradition or an afternoon date idea with bae, apple picking is a fall activity loved by all.
For an afternoon at the orchard, you’ll need a hands-free bag that lets you spend less time fussing and more time picking. The perfect apple orchard bag is theDrawstring Backpack. It’s lightweight enough for an afternoon of wear but spacious enough to fit the essentials. Now that you have your bag, let us help you pack it for a successful day at the orchard.
1. Hat. Not only will a hat help shield the sun from your eyes, but it will also keep any bugs or fallen leaves out of your hair while you pick. That’s what we call fashion meets function.
2. Selfie Stick. Apple picking is the one fall activity that you can shamelessly take dozens of selfies and not feel obnoxious – because everyone else is doing the same thing. You’ll definitely want to document the day and remember how cute that felt hat is.
3. Water Bottle. Fall afternoons can still get pretty toasty, so you’ll need to stay hydrated if you’re walking around for a few hours. We love this S’well bottle since it keeps your cold drinks cool for 24 hours – even if it’s sitting in the sun. Plus, this will fit perfectly in the side pocket of your backpack.
4. Coin Purse. Most orchards kick it old school and don’t accept credit – so make sure you have cash and change on hand. Slip enough cash in a small coin purse for your apples and some fresh hot apple cider
5. Market Tote. Be colorful (and green) and bring your own bag to put those Honey Crisps in. Our Market Tote is large enough to fit as many apples as an entire family would need, but can fold up and fit right in your backpack for travel.
