Roots, the iconic Canadian brand, now offers the Lola Bag. Available in two sizes, the Canadian-made purses are ideal for everyday use this summer. The bags are large enough to hold the user's essentials yet small enough to carry around comfortably all day without a bulky feel.
Users can wear the purse as a shoulder bag or pull the removable strap through loops on the handle and knot the ends to wear it as a crossbody. Each handbag is handcrafted in the Roots leather factory in Toronto. Made with Cloud leather -- a North American Full Grain Leather -- the purses are finished with aniline dyes and tumbled to create a pebbly grain. Consumers can purchase the Lola Bag in the Cloud Lola Bag or Mini Lola Bag sizes.
