Here’s an impulse buy waiting to happen. This canvas weekender from Alternative is an easy pickup for anyone short on luggage. “Tonal stitching details a utilitarian-inspired bag trimmed in leather. Double top handles and a removable should strap provide convenient carrying options.” Also, we had no idea Nordstrom carried Alternative but we’re glad they do as we personally think Alternative’s making some great product and affordable prices.
