5 Reasons Women Who Grew Up in the 70s Can't Stop Buying This Quilted Van Bag
5 Reasons Women Who Grew Up in the 70s Can't Stop Buying This Quilted Van Bag
The first time I saw it, I was 12 years old again, in the back of my dad's camper van, somewhere on Route 66.
My father had a camper van. Orange and cream, curtains my mother sewed herself, a cooler that never closed properly. Every summer we piled in and drove until the radio stations changed.
I had not thought about that van in years. Then this quilted bag appeared on my screen, shaped exactly like it, peace sign and all. I ordered it before I finished my coffee. Here is why so many women my age are doing the same.

1. It brings back a whole summer in one look.
Stitched flowers, little windows, round wheels, a peace sign on the front.
It is not a costume or a gimmick. It feels like something you would have found in your favorite aunt's closet in 1975, just brand new.
2. It is useful, not just pretty.
This is a real weekender: 18 inches long, a wide zip opening, handles long enough for your shoulder.
I use mine for weekends at my daughter's house, for the farmers market, and to carry my knitting and a thermos to the lake.
3. It is light on the shoulders.
Quilted polyester, no heavy leather, no stiff hardware. After a certain age you notice these things.
It feels like carrying a sweater, even with a weekend of clothes inside.
4. The grandkids think you are the coolest person they know.
My granddaughter asked to borrow it the first weekend. Teenagers love anything that looks vintage right now, and this is the real thing in spirit.
Fair warning: you may need a second one.
5. Sixteen designs, one for every memory.
Sunshine yellow, tangerine, rainbow patchwork, cream, purple daisies.
With Buy 1 Get 1 Free, most women pick one for themselves and one for a sister, an old friend or a granddaughter. The second one is free.
