introducing FLOTE- hip bags and accessories for your life's great adventures

May 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Introducing FLOTE- hip bags and accessories for your life's great adventures.

Having run marathons, cycling through the Canadian Rockies, climbing to the summit of Mount Olympus in Greece and glaciers of New Zealand, Jill Mara, owner and creator of FLOTE envisioned a world where sophistication and function could come together in a collection of bags and accessories that offer a refined, hands-free option to carry essentials.

"I love travel, adventure and art.  And with these sensibilities, I knew there had to be a way to carry the essentials I needed with me, in a way that wasn't intrusive to the adventure, while still having a sense of beauty and sophistication.  That's what inspired me to create my own line of accessories and handbags; FLOTE".

Whether you are hiking or taking your child to the park or just getting morning coffee, a FLOTE bag is large enough to keep all the essentials handy without weighing you down.  The collection is designed to allow you to go hands free in classic style.

"The designs are modern and I scour the world to find the finest fabrics and hardware- all of which I believe complements one's venturesome lifestyle.  The collection is handcrafted by top artisans in USA workshops with meticulous attention to the integrity of each item, ensuring quality, long lasting heirloom products," says Mara.

Flote offers cross body bags and satchels, clutch bags, hip bags, tote, and travel accessories with price points ranging between $78 to $500.
