<p>While nothing says summer like a monogrammed tote, these posh hand-painted designs from Lively Design Studio effortlessly stand out from the pack with sturdy, chic style. Perfect for beach- or poolside — and even dressing up jaunts to the grocery store — these come in a wide array of striped color combinations with your choice of monogram. <img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15243" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/IMG_3868-copy.jpg" alt="IMG_3868 copy" width="800" height="800" />Each Signature Tote is imported, then carefully customized to your specs by artisans in Austin, Texas. I love that they&#8217;re big enough to comfortably hold all the season&#8217;s essentials: book, sunblock, tablet, you name it!<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15246" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/livelytote2_72dpi-copy.jpg" alt="livelytote2_72dpi copy" width="800" height="800" /><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-15245" src="http://thepaperchronicles.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/livelytote1_72dpi-copy.jpg" alt="livelytote1_72dpi copy" width="800" height="800" />Lively Design Studio is headed by Kelly Kirkland, the artist and designer behind the popular children’s stationery and gift brand <a href="http://www.mayflyandjunebug.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mayfly and Junebug Designs</a>. The Austin native and mother of three launched Lively Design studio in early 2016 to expand her aesthetic into textiles, fashion, and home accessories.</p>
<p>“I began Mayfly and Junebug Designs over fifteen years ago, naming it after my first child who was born in May (I was born in June),&#8221; Kelly told me. &#8220;Well, that Mayfly has just graduated from high school and is headed into college, and I’m ready to take on something new! Mayfly and Junebug is classic and timeless and I love creating new children’s designs. But I also love so many different kinds of bright and colorful styles — preppy chic, bohemian, abstract, modern. I felt like, as an artist, I needed to break out of my comfort zone and start designing products that reflect my other design interests, too.”</p>
<p>I think these totes have all the makings of a great launch! Shop them here for $160 each, and Kelly is also accepting select wholesale/retail accounts.
