Orla Kiely makes a wonderful looking yoga bag. This retro styling and colors gives you the old school look that will match any bright yoga mat.  This laminated yoga bag has a cotton stem print lining and double zip to close.  Inside details include pockets for mat, accessories etc.  Canvas adjustable handle.

The Melange Linen Metro Yoga Bag is a cut above the rest and proves that prudence is passé and extravagance is in, even when it comes to yoga.  This contemporary organic return-to-old yoga tote caught my fancy when one of my friends at the yoga class showed it off, and is an elite member of my collection now.

This is part of the linen collection by Crescent Moon and comes in both brown and white linen.  The hand-bag style design is very feminine and has a cheerful look about it. Wait till you hear this!  This tote bag will make you smile whenever you open it, because your eyes are inevitably drawn to the luxurious quilted-satin lining with contrasting stitching.

If you are a fashionista and want mat space that respects the traditional value of yoga, then I suggest you take a look at the Melange Linen Metro Yoga Bag.

Beauty marries functionality at Bottoms Up Yoga.  I like this design because I get two excellent yoga bags for the cost of one.  Well, it’s a reversible tote bag and one that’s hauntingly seductive.

Made from polyester and rayon, this Inner Beauty Yoga Bag radiates voluptuous charm.  Bottoms Up Yoga aims at creating fashionable yoga accessories that bring alive the stylist in you.  Each yoga bag comes in a design that attracts the attention of the urban yogi who never settles for anything short of extraordinary.

Each Inner Beauty Yoga Bag also has a pocket to keep the keys and water. There are two sizes available, 27.5” x 6” and 27.5” x 10”.  If you ask me, I’d suggest the bigger one for people going to their yoga class from the office as they have a lot more to carry with them, and the smaller one for those that go from home.

This masterpiece is an epitome of luxury and I was awestruck when I laid eyes on it.  The features which make the Abigail Yoga Bag from J&P Yoga super chic are the soft tweed exterior and a cream patterned interior, beautiful orange sorbet, pale green ad soft rose art deco circles and the antique gold hardware.

In spite of having a fascination for tote bags of any type, I was surprised that yoga bags can be so beautiful.  Imagine a light mint green or chocolate brown shoulder strap hanging from your shoulder to reveal a yoga bag designed unlike any other.

This beauty also comes with a matching Eye Pillow and Stretch Strap. The Abigail Yoga Bag has an interior zipper pocket, detachable coin purse and a key clip.  I for one would love to be seen carrying this stylist tote bag to my yoga class.  Haven’t you noticed how people eye good bags at these classes?

Some people are satisfied when the purpose is served even if it means carrying a drab looking yoga bag.  But my love for yoga extends to carrying well-crafted and exclusive tote bags.  Some call it extravagance, but it certainly is worth it; especially since most of them are inexpensive and last long.

For those of you who are like me, then Bandha is where you need to look.  The Chakra Yoga Mat Bag is not only extremely good looking for very functional too. It has two huge zippered pockets on the front, one of which can be used for the yoga mat, and another pocket on the strap, for easy access.

The pure cotton embroidered Chakra Yoga Mat Bag or the tote bag is inspired by the chakras and comes in a variety of eye-catching colors.  I gifted one to my mom whose passion for yoga rubbed off on me, and she loved it.  In fact, I didn’t have to spend much either, as the Bandha collection is cheaper than many others.   You can gift one too!

The lengths to which people go to for fashion!  It’s not just about a regular yoga bag anymore.  It is well established that colors matter when it comes to a yoga tote.  And Plank Designs creates just that – a yoga mat in three different hues, Chocolate for the passionate like me, Red for the feisty and Blue for the calm and serene.

Which category do you fall into?  Personally, I’d go for the chocolate color.  A fully lined cotton canvas with leather trim is used to create the colorful Plank Designs Carrier Yoga Bag.  They have given two pockets, one inside and the other outside, with plenty of space for a decent sized yoga mat, a towel, water bottle and other accessories.
This 25” x 7” x 7” Plank Designs Carrier Yoga Bag is certainly a great buy for the stylist in you.

Oona Sera pulls out all stops.  The Pink Circles Yoga Mat Bag bears witness to the exuberant creativity of the brand. You will find that all their yoga accessories are one of a kind.

Created to fit any standard yoga mat, these Japanese textured pure cotton tote bags are perfect for setting the right atmosphere for the yoga bash.   The outer soft shell can hold the yoga accessories, water bottle and towel; while the zipper pocket inside is meant for the other personal items, such as the wallet, keys, cell phone etc.

You don’t have to worry about spoiling the bag with damp stuff, as it is water repellent and durable.  I enjoy the fact that I don’t have to take extra care to maintain it and I can just dump my bag in the washing machine.

You don’t have to wear clothes colored in the saffron of Dalai Lama’s robes in order to set the tone for your yoga, just pick up a brightly colored yoga mat to go with this stylist design, and you’re all set.
