Town Talk
Snap! Another loaf bites the dust. Baltimore designer Marybeth Shaw witnessed a little too much bread carnage in Paris in 1992. While the savvy French were already into reusing their totes, or “sacs,” Shaw noticed that these green grocery shoppers had to snap their crusty baguettes in half in order to get them home. Two decades and a slew of design awards later, Shaw has crafted the solution: a stylish, roomy, reusable tote that safely chauffeurs groceries or on-the-go items, plus an easy, snap-on quiver for carrying a newspaper, flowers, or baguette! Each Sac à Baguette is made of canvas cotton and leather, with color schemes inspired by the lively cities of New York (black with a cobalt blue lining), San Francisco (camel and chocolate with a bright yellow lining), and Rotterdam (gray and espresso with a bright orange lining). Not tempted yet? Consider the tote’s zip-out liner and the promise of more accessories to launch in the future. A must-have for the on-the-go city girl. Sac à Baguette is available at The Store Limited in Baltimore or at sacabaguette.com.
