Antler Aeon Weekend Bag

Advantages: Stylish, good range of features
Disadvantages: No 'piggy-back' connection

...I recently purchased a vanity bag from Oasis (fashion shop) and have found it really strong, stylish and useful, with excellent organiser capabilities. The bag is part of the Oasis luggage collection designed by Antler. At £30 the bag seems about average price, but was definitely the most stylish and had the most features. It fits in with the ethos of Oasis as being individual and fashionable. It is black and curved at the front, and is soft-sided but with a reinforced front. It is travel-bag sized, with two main sections. Each section includes organiser features, including: * mobile phone pocket * 3 bottle straps (for storing shampoo, etc) * key holder * A4 sized inside pocket * pen holders * other storage pockets It also comes with a shoulder strap and a padlock.

Advantages: Locks cases
Disadvantages: Not high security

Advantages: Finnish brands on show
Disadvantages: expensive, busy

...skins and thick woollen Lappish socks and hats on display. Besides these, there are reindeer antler bottle openers, silly hats, Finnish porcelain, reindeer teddies...Reindeer seems to be the major theme! These kind of souvenirs are expensive anywhere of course but be warned, you will pay a not-inconsiderable mark-up for the name Stockmann on your carrier bag!! In summary, it's nothing too unusual as a department store, but it is worth a wander through if you are trying to fill time and to get a good overview of the kind of traditional souvenirs you can take home with you...but shop elsewhere!...
