May 24--Travelers seeking new hands-free ways to carry their valuables have an innovative option in the Sholdit Pocketed Scarf. It's a long tube scarf with a large zippered pocket, and it can hold whatever your neck can bear.
The Sholdit comes in two styles. The Basic Sholdit is 31 inches around and 10 inches wide, with one 9-by-8-inch zippered pocket. It comes in several patterns, colors and textures, from a featherweight polyester to a slightly heavier fleecelike poly blend.

The Original Sholdit, in black, has two pockets -- a 9-by-7-inch main compartment and a 5-inch-square pocket for a cellphone at hip level when the 30-inch-long scarf is worn full-length.
Both models can be converted into a clutch bag by folding the scarf into the main zippered pocket. Sholdit Pocketed Original Scarf costs about $50; the basic style is $30 to $60, depending on texture and material blend. Info: www.sholdit.com
