Greetings and salutations, my loyal readers. Let me tell you a little story.

It had incredible vintage styling, and was constructed from the finest, most supple caramel-colored leather. I was literally drooling over this purse, as were my fellow shoppers. As I was inspecting the bag and admiring the awesome multi-colored liner, I could sense that somebody was peering over my shoulder. I turned around to discover another woman lusting after the very handbag I had in my hands. At this point, I was both annoyed and afraid.

One additional factor adults do not have to contend with is design. As we know, most adult sleeping bags come in solid colors.
