Mad Dash

Dash & Albert Carpet Totes

You deem yourself a highly talented writer, stylist, and carpetbagger.

Which explains your new Dash & Albert rug tote.

Made of the same thick hand-loomed cotton as the company’s famously beautiful rugs, the bags have a leather bottom and straps, and are practical for hauling around everything from groceries to a change of clothes.

Designer Annie Selke gave them charming monikers connoting their preppy-pleasing color schemes: Jamaica Ticking (pinks, blues, and browns), Tangerine Dream (the material version of rainbow sherbet), Vanilla Sky (light blue, cream, and brown), Chocolate Tartan (blue, yellow, and browns), and Siena Stripe (muted pinks, greens, and browns).

No matter which you choose, you’re in for a magical carpet ride.

Available at Kacky & Carl, 2722 Routh Street (214-295-4486). To see styles, go to dashandalbert.com.
