Summer is fast approaching, which means trips to the beach, park and fun weekend getaways. For an easy escape to any destination, Day-Timers, the organizational gurus, presents The Jute Tote for all your outing’s necessities.

This blue, beige and brown striped bag has room for beach towels, books, magazines, maps, suntan lotion, snacks and anything else you might need for your summertime excursion. Made from jute, a strong natural vegetable fiber, this tote is sturdy and can fend off both the sand and the sea. 

The Jute Tote also offers an easily accessible outer pouch as well as an inside zipper pocket. For even more storage, it includes two smaller sized bags that fit inside, or can be carried independently of  The Jute Tote. The smallest one is the perfect size for your money or wallet, so you don’t have to take the entire bag with you up to the snack bar. The second portable zipper bag is large enough to pack your makeup so you can take an unencumbered trip to the bathroom when you need to do a little touch up. Both bags are also a perfect place for your iPod or cell phone.

The Jute Tote runs for $29.99 and is the ideal solution when packing for a quick day, or weekend trip. Before you go on your first summer excursion, stop at www.daytimer.com and get the only bag you’ll need.
