  1. I have loved these bags for so long. My faves are the Gracie in magenta, Rose in raspberry or teal, or Betsy in mustard. Gorgeous!

  2. I would love to have the Gracie – Greige…it is gorgeous! All of the bags are amazing though, its tough to choose just one ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. I have been lusting over the Gracie in Butterscotch. What a perfect bag to rock at University and pack to the brim with textbooks.

  4. I love the Betsy bag! I’m naturally drawn to the brown but I think I’d have to choose the mustard to add a little cheeriness to my camera bag. They are all beautiful!

  5. Oh my, so hard to choose! If I were being practical, I’d choose either the Betsy in brown or mustard. But, I also love the Georgia in Nautical!

  6. I just bought the Millie bag for my daughter and she loves it! Me? I need something a bit larger and the Gracie bag fits the bill!

  7. Ooooh, lala, what a great giveaway, my wish is for the Georgia Herringbone! Thank you for the opportunity! Blessings!

  8. I love Gracie–magenta. I’m about to go on 2 girls trips (one in Florida and one in Cali) This would be perfect for my camera!!

  9. I love the rose bag in teal. It’s such a happy color! I also love the ring you have on your middle finger. Is that an antique? And I know what my $20 gift card is going to be used toward — I need that ampersand necklace!

  10. LOVE the Gracie in Magenta!! Perhaps your fabulous photo swayed my opinion. I do love them all, but what a pop that magenta bag is!!

    Fingers crossed!!

  14. I want the raspberry rose, but with 3 little ones, i have to have a long strap. The millie in teal or the gracie in magenta are so adorable!

  55. Wow….I just spent a lot of time looking at all the Jo Totes, trying to decide which one I like best….researching the colors and what they mean….I think I’ve decided I like the Gracie the best….the magenta is really cool, but I think I would have to be more practical and select the Griege (I didn’t know about this color and had to find out what it was! Learning experience!)….my 2nd choice would probably be the Betsy….Thank you for having this giveaway….I’m excited and would love to win….I could do so much with the Jo Tote….I carry a briefcase to church because I have so much to take with me….music, Bible, bulletins, water bottle, camera, pen, pencil, highlighters, etc.

  82. Oh, the Betsy in Mustard, definitely! I had a handbag that color a few years ago and it went with EVERYTHING.

    I have to say, the bag you’re wearing is most assuredly a happy color! LOL!I’m not usually one that is big on pink but it’s a very nice shade of pink.

  83. Okay I remember the day you blog about getting this bag-love that it is now a give away I love the gracie in magenta like you are wearing.

  87. These bags are BRILLIANT!!! The Gracie style are my favorite and I love it in Magenta but Butterscotch is a close 2nd!!

  88. Oooooh! Thanks for the chance! My fave is the ‘Gracie’ in Butterscotch. I have been eyeing a Jo Totes camera bag for a while now ………….

  89. Teal Rose or Betsy Mustard

    I don’t even have a camera (just the one on my iPhone. i know!), but these are super cute bags and exactly what I’ve been looking for in a usual, day-to-mom-day bag.

  90. The Betsy Chocolate would have to be my choice, although all the bags are all great and I would love to have one in any color.

  91. I always love your sense of style because it looks so effortless.
    If I had to pick one bag of Jo Tote’s, it’d probably be Rose in Sugarplum. But a close second is Millie in Sugarplum. I’d have to measure my gear and see if it would fit in Millie or not.
    Thanks for the chance !

  92. Love the Betsy Mustard! Such a sweet bag!

    Thanks for the chance Lisa. Wishing you a beautiful day!
