When you're hitting the road for a day of exploring beautiful homes, thoughtful design, and clever craftsmanship, being prepared makes all the difference. Whether it's your first Artisan Home Tour or your 10th, here’s a peek inside the perfect Artisan bag to have in your car — curated to keep you comfortable, refreshed, and ready for anything.
Water Bottle
Hydration is key! A refillable bottle ensures you stay refreshed as you travel between homes, especially on those warm, sunny days.
Lipstick & Mints
A quick refresh after lunch can make all the difference. Toss in your favorite lipstick and a few mints to feel polished and ready to greet fellow design lovers.
Sunglasses
A must-have for the sunny drives between homes.
Snacks & Apple
Snacks are a must! Pack some car-friendly fuel like a granola bar and a piece of fruit to keep your energy up between stops.
Easy-On, Easy-Off Shoes
You’ll be slipping your shoes on and off frequently — comfort and convenience are key. Choose a pair that keeps up with your steps and slides off in a snap.
Reusable Booties
Protecting the floors of the stunning homes you’ll be walking through is part of the etiquette. You'll get a pair at the first home you visit, but be sure to hang on to them throughout the tour.
Guidebook
Your personal tour companion! The guidebook includes must-see highlights, builder info, and can’t-miss details that bring each home to life.
Phone
From accessing your Artisan ticket (available for sale online only!) to browsing the mobile app for directions, builder details, and bonus content, your phone is your digital sidekick for the day.
A Roomy Bag
Of course, you’ll need something stylish and functional to carry it all. A tote with space and structure will keep your essentials organized and accessible.
Notepad & Pen
For the traditional note-takers: jot down your favorite paint colors, layout ideas, or must-try DIYs. Inspiration strikes often—be ready for it!
Packing these essentials ensures a smooth, stylish, and inspired tour experience. So load up your Artisan bag, hit the road, and get ready to discover the craftsmanship and creativity waiting behind every door.
