No, Best Made did not spell the name of the bag that Puff Daddy’s umbrella-totting assistant carries around wrong. Ditty bags were originally made by apprentice sailmakers to prove they were worthy of crafting a sail and then were used to haul basically all their stuff around in. Even if you aren’t about to travel the seven seas, having such an aesthetically pleasing carry-all will come in handy more often than you realize. Fill it with gear when you’re traveling or camping and sling it over your shoulder or hang it easily from a branch (that applies more to the camping than the hotel stays unless you stay is some really weird-ass hotels).
