New York artist and designer Nik Bentel teamed up with TUMs to create The TUMS Bag, a limited-edition luxury handbag design that appeals to fashion fans and foodies alike.
The design of the bag draws cues from the iconic TUMS Chewy Bites bottle and it boasts a sleek chrome finish, a blue suede interior and a magnetic closure. This reliable accessory inspired by the top-selling antacid in America can be sported in different ways thanks to two strap styles.
The bag, touted as "a love letter to those who want to wear their foodie heart (quite literally) on their sleeves," is available for purchase on Nik Bentel's site and Amazon for $200, while supplies last.
