In the Bag: New Orleans

In 1872, gold, green and purple — the official colors for New Orleans Mardi Gras celebration — were chosen to honor the visiting Russian Grand Duke whose house colors were the same. Since we want your trip to The Big Easy to generate as much fanfare, we’ve packed a great bag to honor that tradition (sorry fellas, this one’s for the gals).

As they say in New Orleans, “Laissez les bons temps rouler.” Let the good times roll!
