It’s water repellent, covered in pockets both inside and out, and contoured to fit for comfort. I took it on a road trip around Ireland. Thanks to the Irish fall weather, I can testify to its durability and that the Rain Defender technology stands up.

While in Salt Lake City, I met up with Rachel Pepper, owner of KINGFLY. She started the business a few years ago designing and sewing handmade leather bags and accessories. Each item is original— unique in color, texture, and pattern. Creativity flows out of Rachel’s finger tips and embodies itself in all of the leather goodies she dreams up. If you love quirky and entirely one of a kind designs, KINGFLY products are perfect for you. Check out more of her work at KINGFLYdesign.com where she posts updates and photos.

This is Maria. She started up a functional bike bag business called Po Campo a few years back. Biking is a big part of Maria’s life, but she had a hard time finding bags that fit on her bike and that were still easy to tote around the city after reaching her destination. With a background in industrial design and branding, Maria was able to see a need in her life and found a way to solve it. There are a ton of different styles, fabrics, and patterns to choose from.

I got to hang out with the talented designer today to look at bags and check out how they all work. It was great to hear her story and how her past jobs brought her to the career she’s now pursuing. Maria said the day she left the corporate world, she got rid of all of her stiff, so-called professional clothes, and started wearing what made her feel happy and comfortable. The Carhartt women’s line is a great fit for her. Maria loves bright colors and clothes that are stylish and functional, much like her own line of bags.
