The Best Fair Trade Weekend Bag & $350 Remedy Road Gift Card Giveaway!
*Thank you to Remedy Road for partnering on this post! I am so passionate about this company and their mission!
We’ve been doing a bit of traveling this spring and this first part of summer, and I have some trips already planned for late summer and into fall. (Which I’m SO excited about!) In any event, while this wasn’t always the case, I’ve gotten much better in the past couple of years at packing more efficiently when I take short trips. I have found that a good part of packing efficiently is having the right bag. If I’m taking just an overnight or two-night trip, a weekend bag is pretty much all I need! This JOYN bag from Shop Remedy Road is the best fair trade weekend bag and honestly can be used for SO MUCH more than just a carry-on or travel bag.
If you haven’t heard of Remedy Road, they are an online shop and brick-and-mortar boutique located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I discovered them a few months ago and LOVE their shop and their mission. Remedy Road really makes shopping ethically and shopping for fair trade goods so easy. Seriously! They carry everything from ethically made women’s apparel to fair trade footwear, to handbags, ethical home goods, meaningful gifts, and even ethical items for kids!
This weekend bag seriously fits SO MANY THINGS. I can fit my laptop, charger, headphones, multiple books, my planner, wallet, a change of clothes, toothbrush, etc. all in this bag. The weekender also works really well as a large diaper bag or day bag, too!
It’s really sturdy, too. The leather handles give it that solid feeling, but the canvas material is soft enough that it’s flexible. The print is hand stamped by artisans in India who are paid above and beyond a living wage! I love that!
It is also the perfect, neutral print and so this weekend bag really is timeless and I know I will use it for years and years to come.
I honestly can’t say enough good things about Remedy Road. Their whole motto is Live with Purpose, Shop with Purpose, and that is so much what I am about! If you are looking for an easy way to shop for fair trade and ethical goods, Remedy Road is a GREAT place!
Here are just a few of the other GORGEOUS pieces that Remedy Road carries that I have my eye on. That round beach towel blanket is amazing. And that maxi dress would be perfect for the beach!
ANNNND, to sweeten the deal and get you shopping at Remedy Road, I’ve teamed up with four of my other favorite bloggers who also share a passion for giving back and brands that have a deeper meaning and purpose to give away a $350 gift card to Remedy Road!

No idea what I would buy if I won the gift card…maybe a bag and some greeting cards/other gifts? Or maybe just everything on the site??
That bag!
I love the kids tees – more precious than gold, and act justly, love mercy, walk humbly. And I love the JOYN Vegan Leather Tote!
the paloma floral is gorgeous and would be great to take to the islands this winter.
thanks,

Too many good options – but I would probably start with one of the Fashionable totes!
I probably would have spend it on the accessories section, i have this crazy obsession over handbags and jewelries these days. I definitely fell in love with the Tirhas Saddlebag though ❤
I would probably purchase the Synergy Jamie Dress.
The Joyn weekender is cute!
I LOVE the Synergy Jamie Dress- it looks so comfy and versatile!
I love the Fashionable Alem Utility Bag!
Love the Sseko Caramel Rue Ankle Strap Accent Sandal!
That weekender bag! Also the 31 Bits baubles. Love it!
I’ve been looking for a round beach towel but so many different places have the worst reviews due to bad quality! I bet this one is top notch! So the Pura Vida Round Beach Towel in the mandala pattern would be one pick of mine!
I love the shorts you are wearing in this post — where are they from? Thanks so much for sharing! Love your blog :)!
Love it! I’ve been looking for a cute crossbody and I love their Fashionable Destaye. So many cute shoes too!
I’d love to treat myself to a new diaper bag for my surprise pregnancy! These are so cute!
Such cute items! Thank you!
I’m really into dresses for the summer and Remedy Road has some beautiful choices!
Molly, I love JOYN–I have a suede JOYN tote and it is beautiful, functional, wonderful!! It’s so great to learn about Remedy Road too. Thank you for letting us know about products that help others.
I love love love the round beach towel and would have to have one of those. I also really like the BADALA Maisha Basket and would get that.
I think we’ll be in Bentonville in a few months. I’ll have to check the store out in person! I’d buy a tote and shoes if I won – so many beautiful things.
I’d get the Be a Nice Human tee for my daughter and the Pura Vida Round Beach Towel for myself.
I just moved into my first apartment so I would be all over the home goods section! There are some SUPER cute bowls and baskets!
