Summer Luvin'

Our entire Summer 2012 collection was inspired by Hawaii and all things tiki, retro, and tropical. Out of all the amazing Seatbeltbags we came out with this summer the Sumer Luvin' Mixers are the ones that speak Hawaiian summer the most. Their fun bright colors and cocktail themed names scream SUMMER!

Usually the Summer Luvin' bags come in bright summer solids but we wanted to mix things up a bit and offer them in color combos inspired by our favorite cocktails.
We get a lot of requests to bring back the Rugby bags so we thought it would be perfect for this collection. If you missed out on the first collection of Rugby bags, here's your chance to snatch one up because you never know when they'll come back again.

One of our favorite Cocktails is of course the Blue Hawaiian. Did you know it was originally created by Harry Yee, a bartender at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort and Spa, back in 1957?
There are numerous variations of this recipe, many using Creme de Coconut, but this is the authentic recipe.
