In July my family & I are travelling to Rocky Mountain House, Alberta.. In August we’re headed to the lakes of Montana for boating & sunshine! My OFK style is The King in Washed Java. It really IS “the King” of handbags— bold, sophisticated & stunning!

This summer I am taking a road trip to Vancouver and Seattle! I’m super excited to explore both beautiful cities! I would take the black Marquess tote with me. It is the perfect travel bag to pack all the essentials!

Liked and shared on Facebook! Gorgeous bags!

This Summer I’m going to MTL, T.O and NY. I would use it as a everyday bag for all three cities because it is a perfect travel size bag. :D

I will be playing on Kalamalka lake with my family!! Nothing like a little boating and lake time to fix everything. The best bag to take with me would be the marquess or the king perfect for everything Including my laptop and portable speakers for music!

I don’t want summer to be over but I can’t wait for the last week of August! Doing some truck and tent livin’ with my man and the dog. Getting out of this flat city and journeying across the border to explore the mountains – hills to you lovely Rockies folk ;) – of northern New York and New Hampshire. Hiking as many mountains as we can, camping in the wild, and then heading to the East Coast for some sun and surfing! I would love to take the Bishop along for the ride. That grey tone is too dreamy, and the shoulder strap is KEY for hiking and also for biking in the city! Your bags rule and so does Vancouver. I miss it. Happy Summer!

This summer holds adventures around the beautiful province of BC – and come September a mini vacation to Vegas!

The Marquess bag in cognac is the perfect bag for travel, fit the essentials for car travel and extras for the plane!

This summer, I’m leaving on a jet plane for Montreal (for two years! Go grad school). I would totally take a beautiful Queen bag on the plane with me – looks big enough to store my laptop, my cat (in her appropriately reigning glory), and all the donuts from Cartems that I’ll smuggle from Vancouver. Tres chic.

I love to spend my summer days puttering around my own city of Vancouver. I would load up a Bishop bag with my current book (yes, a real one with pages!), my water bottle, coffee cup, and sunblock and find the perfect place to enjoy the sunshine. We have so many wonderful parks in Van, the exploration opportunities are almost endless!

I am heading home to Nova Scotia to visit my mom. It’s going to be a busy week jam packed with beach trips, afternoon walks and all sorts of other exciting things. The Marquess would be great to travel with but to also throw everything in and go. I never know what the day holds for me.

I take my OFK DUKE bag everywhere with me! I love its versatility and would love to add to my OFK collection. We are heading up into the mountains behind Kimberley to celebrate my anniversary with my husband. We will paddle a small Glacier lake and pick wild huckleberries,followed by a dinner out at a local restaurant Pedal&Tap. I love summer!

Summers are never complete without a few days & nights spent in the Muskoka’s. When you live the hustle and bustle life in a big city, enjoying a nice few days on the lake and unwinding under the stars are just the ticket. I would take my OFK Archbisop in cognac or the King in black to pack up all a girls needed essentials and hit the open road!

If I had my way I would take the “king” with me to Haida Gwaii so I could load it up with daily essentials and trek around the island having grand adventures!!

I absolutely adore One Fated Knight! The quality and workmanship are seriously unparalleled. I’m hoping to make it out to Vancouver, British Columbia for a dear friends wedding. I think the Bishop in navy would totally complete my look, and my trip!

This summer I’m looking forward to going to some awesome destinations for work like Amsterdam, London, Paris, Frankfurt and Venice. I’m also getting psyched for some fun times at Squamish music fest and hopefully some relaxation in Mount Baker. I would love to have an OFK bag to bring along with me on all my travels. It’s definitely a tough decision – I’d love to have all your bags!! Ultimately I think the King bag in washed java takes the cake. It’s all in the name right! ;)

Liked and shared!

Love the local talent – Keep up the great work!

This summer is full of adventures for me in Saskatchewan. I will be headed north to Prince Albert National Park, and would love the fun and stylish soft leather King bag as a travel companion. One must have a way to carry all the essentials! I’m also excited to be headed home to Ottawa for a family visit – and what better way to look stylish while at the airport? So much fun ahead!

A Harley, a handbag and H2O will be my most important travel companions for cruising Vancouver Island. Luckily the King bag is large enough to fit a couple extra trip essentials too. For cruising the highways I will need some lip balm to keep my lips healthy and a hairbrush to tame the mane. Walking around Victoria in the sunshine will require I pack some sunglasses. Surfing in Tofino would be a dream come true so hopefully I can fit a towel and a bathing suit in my bag as well!

I don’t have any big plans for this summer, hope to take a few day trips here and there. I will be packing up my awesome grey Bishop wherever I go. Although I’d love to get my hands on a Queen or a Marquess!!
I say what could be better than “One Fated Knight” but “Two Fated Knights”!!

With two kids my adventure plans aren’t as exciting as some others but mine include lots of trips to the park and beach. I am coveting the bishop bag – it is oh so gorgeous! I’m sure I could fit a bottle, diaper, sippy cup and iPhone in there ;). That’s all I need!

I’m heading to London in 3 weeks, and think that the King in washed java would be the absolute perfect travel bag to take with me! It would fit all my essentials, including my three cameras ;) and overall would make a stunning statement.

This summer I will be heading home to Nova Scotia for the first time in years to visit my parents. I will be toting my Duke bag, which I already take just about everywhere I go. It is large enough to hold everything I could ever need.

This summer will be spent exploring my own backyard! Travelling around BC Kootneys and the Okanagan with hiking and beach days galore! The ‘king’ would be a perfect travel companion that would fit all the daily essentials and could transition into a mini baby bag that will be really useful in my near future ;)

I am leaving for Sweden at the end of the month to take my masters and would love to bring a OFK bag to Stockholm with me! I think they represent everything British Columbian – unique, practical and beautiful… The Bishop would be a perfect companion for my subway commute to class everyday!

In the summer, my favorite thing to do is enjoy every second of our beautiful Canadian weather!! The summer time here is seriously gorgeous! From steamy hot days to beautiful stormy evenings, nights on the prairies watching the Northern lights while hiding in a wheat field. Long walks along a river, hiking in Jasper… Sigh. I love it all. So no need to go anywhere for me in the summer… Every day is a staycation!!! Now… Winter?! That’s a whole different story! And the perfect bag for me? The Queen bag in Cognac looks thike the most amazing companion for trips both near and far!! #love

I am planning a road trip to Prince Edward County to visit the ocean-worthy Sandbanks Provincial Park beach and visit the amazing wineries in Hillier. We are even going to see a theatre show production in a vineyard (Rosehall Run). Can’t wait! I will bring my well-loved Lord bag but I’d much rather be toting a Bishop or Queen!

Although the Bishop bag, would make a very chic edition to the trip, providing enough room for a digital SLR, and yet being compact enough to not get in the way of others while on tour.

Travelling to Europe to soak up the culture walking through the many amazing museums; seeing amazing architecture, art and sculptures; eating really good food in France, Italy, and Greece; and basking in the Mediterranean sun to top off the trip. For all of this museum-hopping-artwork-seeing-country-exploring whirlwind tour, something small and discrete like the Maiden wallet would be ideal to keep only the essentials on me while on my own epic trek.

I’m 60 days and eight countries into the biggest adventure of my life. I quit my job, rented the apartment, packed a carry on backpack, and set off to travel the world in attempt to do more (and be more) with less stuff. Winning one of your bags would mean I’d get to bring it to 15 or something new countries and give it lots of love in the next 10 months to go. I’m in Switzerland now, traveling to France tomorrow. Leaving August 24 for Turkey for 3 weeks. India for 3 weeks. Then likely onto Sri Lanka or Nepal after. Beyond this, we will see!! :) my OFK ideal bag is the Bishop in military. Why? It’s a versatile size and the body strap and zippers make it difficult for theft. Beyond travel, I can see myself with this lovely bag for years to come.

Making plans right now to head to Cuba for a week. I’ve never been but I hear it’s beautiful and relaxing. The Bishop is an ideal bag. Not too big since who wants to carry a heavy bag when traveling, yet not too small to hold essentials and a little more! Love that you can turn it into a crossbody too!
