HANDBAGS STITCHED WITH THE LA NAMES
By Christina Cha
Los Angeles, the City of the Angels, one of the most exciting cities in the world. Bringing high hopes and dreams to those that dare to face all the glitz and glamour. From the high-society of Bel-Air to the hip urban styles of Melrose, these are the most recognized cities and roads that many swarm to, longing to experience the “L.A. Life”. The infamous streets of Robertson, where the paparazzi linger and prey with their cameras, in hopes of capturing that memorable signature shot of Angelina Jolie wearing a Hammitt Los Angeles handbag.
Hammitt Los Angeles, uniquely stitched handbags which are organically handcrafted right in Los Angeles , are bringing the freshest luxurious urban trend. “It’s the only handbag that you can wear that gives you a part of L.A. whereever you go,” Stef Hammitt, head designer states. Each bag is uniquely designed and named after a famous Los Angeles road to define the six main collections of the Hammitt Los Angeles which include the Brentwood, Westwood, Robertson, Melrose, Bel-Air, Getty and the Griffin .
Hammitt Los Angeles launched in 2003. Stef Hammitt’s motive was to have the most chic, yet bold handbag at a Beverly Hills BBQ's and pool side parties. This soon evolved into a fashion revolution. The original plush studded metal clutch purse, made with fine Italian leather, evolved into a vast array of different textures from croc suede to cobra snake patent. Limiting production to eight colors, the collections keeps the simplicity yet sophistication of this brand.
In the press, Hammitt Los Angeles gets plenty of acknowledgements being seen in InStyle , US Weekly, Life & Style, 944, and also found to be very popular amongst the runways in countries like Japan and France. But in most parts of the country, Hammitt lovers are found thriving in small beach towns like Hermosa Beach , California. Although, you can find Hammitt Los Angeles locally at Fred Segal, Rock in Santa Monica and Spyder Surf Shop in Hermosa Beach , your best bet is to order the bags online at www.hammit.com. But just you wait… you may see this hot brand in your local Bloomingdales!
Hammitt Los Angeles' claim to fame and main focus is handbags, clutches, totes, travel bags, and of course who can forget the famous black leather diaper bag that first appeared in InStyle Magazine with Angelina Jolie. In the near future, they will be expanding and are expected to present new lines of belts, sandals, and newly designed small handbags with a new array of fabrics, textures and fibers that will appear in 2010 collections.
I will admit, it is quite an experience walking down Sunset Boulevard or Rodeo Drive for that matter, and getting stopped to be asked where I got my grey croc suede Brentwood . The style is so original and bold, with its signature rocker plush metal studs, no wonder you see Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton sporting these handbags all over Los Angeles. Plus, the durability and quality of these bags is truly top notch. You will be wearing this bag over and over again. There is nothing in comparison to the rest of the handbags you see in L.A. Perfectly designed for the Angelino girl there is the Angelino bag. Hammitt Los Angeles. L.A. stitched into every bag.
