Holland Adventure

Holland Cox Bags

Zipping off to a weekend in Europe sounds glamorous, but let’s face it: It’s usually more like a test of stamina.

Bedraggled travelers with bloodshot eyes dig around for the passport that will get them through customs just to go pass out at a hotel.

True jet-setters know that arriving in style is all about having the right accessories, like a locally made Holland Cox travel bag. Just large enough to hold all in-flight necessities, the durable totes come with a matching passport holder and an eye mask to block out the neighbors’ action movies.

Local gal Valerie Williams hand-sews each bag with adorable fabrics sourced from nearby stores, her grandmother’s attic, and her own round-the-world adventures. She also designs chic wristlets and two styles of clutches.

So you’ll know a good trip is in the bag.
