Bodhi: A Taste of Simplicity

Store Appeal: Bodhi? Never heard of the word? According to wikipedia, this ancient Sanskrit word can be defined as follows: “Bodhi is traditionally translated as “enlightenment”, but frequently (and more accurately) translated as “awakening” or “to Know“.

That being said, you can see the minimalist, Zen-like simplicity of the bags designed by Angela Han and Joseph Janus of Bodhi handbags and accessories. This collection is comprised of traditional canvas and leather goods, designed with function in mind, and have an architectural sophistication about them. They have both a men’s and women’s collection, and have been featured in publications worldwide, including Oprah Magazine and Maxim.

Our Vote: The site is very user friendly, with clean images that really showcase the craftsmanship and architectural quality of the bags. The website also has a great section of travel accessories. The leather Kindle holder really caught my eye, as I haven’t seen many companies designing accessories for the ever so popular Kindle wireless reading device.
