HOW THE RIGHT HANDBAG WILL COMPLETE YOUR OUTFIT

For someone who loves fashion as much as I do, I always look for ways to make my outfit look complete by building a cohesive wardrobe. When it comes to styling looks, I really stop to consider my overall wardrobe color and style before selecting the right handbag. As we all know, some handbags can be quite the investment! You might be surprised to find out that most of the handbags I own fall between the $200-$600 range. I like to get a ton of use out of all of my handbags and because I’m a girl who likes to keep it casual (most times) and go to the beach, or go on hikes, and get my hands dirty on remodeling projects, I simply can’t always be wearing my investment handbags.

A few years ago I came across Hammitt LA and immediately fell for their versatile handbags. From over the shoulder to crossbody to clutches, Hammitt offers the type of bags worth the buy. Their styles range from classic designs to desk-to-dinner and travel options. The designs fit my love for that edgy-inspired look. Not to mention the quality and craftsmanship is incredible! My first bag from nearly 2 years ago looks untouched and the one that I’m wearing here (black/brushed silver) is my new personal favorite. It’s quite durable, and yet the leather is so soft! It pairs wonderfully with my everyday elevated casual style.

Hammitt offers so many colors and styles. How do you choose your favorite?

There’s a style and color for everyone. My undying love for black and metal (silver and gunmetal are my favorite hardware options) is too strong to pass up. So that was a no-brainer for me. I then fell in love with the size of the bag and knew that it would be my go-to everyday bag. Even if it were to get “worn-in” after time, it would only look cooler. We’re going to have a lot of adventures together, and I have Hammitt to thank for introducing us.
