Swell Style: Rio-Inspired Bags For Summer

The people at Mark recently sent me some great items to review. Among them was the Take Me To Rio Bag designed by award-winning accessory and handbag designer, Carlos Falchi. The bag is part of a line the designer created for Mark to give the consumer a taste of a "trip to the tropics" of Rio. The line is made of fun and colorful accessories, perfect for wearing this Summer.



“Rio embodies color, vibrancy and spirit, all of which are reflected in this collection,” Carlos says. “Each piece is unique and incorporates my signature features, like the colorful linings of the bags, inspired by the Copacabana boardwalk, and the unique fabrications.”



My daughter has been carrying this bag all week and she gets a lot of compliments. The latest being that it "looks like a mermaid's bag."  That makes sense - it does have a shimmery sea-blue appearance. Bay likes that she can fit so many things inside the tote making it the perfect choice for the beach or an overnight away from home. It's a large bag with a zipper closure, zipper pocket inside, and a small outside pocket that is perfect for stashing your cell or keys.

  1. I like all of the bags, but my favorite is the Rio bag. The blue color is especially attractive and would look good with anything. It is very festive.
