If you’ve ever hauled groceries, shopping bags, work supplies, or event swag through the city, you know “the schlep” is real. Fortunately, Hulken has built a loyal following by making those everyday hauls much easier with its signature rolling tote bags. I’ve been using the Hulken Signature Rolling Tote Bag for the past year, and it’s easy to see why it’s developed such a loyal following. I’ve used mine to schlep everything from groceries and shopping finds to media event goodies, and it has held up incredibly well. Despite frequent use, it still looks great and rolls smoothly, making it one of those practical items I find myself reaching for again and again.
The Coffee Cup Charm is one of five handcrafted designs in the limited-edition Hulken x Susan Alexandra Schlep-Mates Collection.
Now, Hulken has teamed up with New York-based accessories brand Susan Alexandra to add a little personality to those everyday errands with the limited-edition Schlep-Mates Collection.
Inspired by the city both brands call home, the collection celebrates the humor and hustle of everyday life in New York. Susan Alexandra’s signature beaded designs bring a colorful twist to Hulken’s practical aesthetic.
The Schlep-Mates Collection includes five collectible pieces:
- Schlep Charm Necklace ($59)
- Bagel Charm ($59)
- Mini Hulken Charm ($59)
- Coffee Cup Charm ($55)
- Heart Charm ($49)
The handcrafted Heart Charm and Coffee Cup Charm add a playful pop of color to Hulken’s signature rolling tote and other everyday bags.
I received the Heart Charm which was a fun introduction to the collection. The colorful beadwork quickly caught my eye, and it adds just the right pop of color to my Hulken without feeling over the top. It has a nice weight to it, and the beadwork feels sturdy enough for everyday use rather than something you’d be afraid to carry.
What I like most is that it doesn’t get in the way of what makes Hulken bags so useful. It simply adds a little personality to something I already use all the time. It clips on easily and serves as a cheerful reminder that even everyday errands deserve a little fun. While it naturally pairs with the Hulken Signature Rolling Tote, it would look equally at home on a handbag, backpack, weekender, or travel tote.
The Bagel Charm adds a fun, handcrafted accent to the Hulken Signature Rolling Tote and other favorite bags.
After a year of regular use, I’m impressed with how well my Hulken has held up. I’ve loaded it with groceries, shopping bags, media event samples, and plenty of other odds and ends, and it still rolls just as smoothly as when I first got it. The Heart Charm is a fun finishing touch to a bag that’s already earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Whether you’re already a Hulken fan or you’re looking to personalize your first rolling tote, the Schlep-Mates Collection adds a playful touch to a bag that’s designed to make everyday life a little easier. The limited-edition collection is available now for pre-order on Hulken.com. According to the website, the charms are expected to ship in early August. Orders containing both in-stock and pre-order items will ship together once all items are available.
