On The Strand | June '21

On The Strand | June '21

Hi, it’s Tony, Founder & Chief Cheerleader of Hammitt. I love walking on The Strand, a long concrete pathway stretching between Santa Monica and Redondo Beach. On the Strand is where I share ideas and inspiration that cross my mind. Let’s take a walk together.

Inspired on the Strand

Rivets

I love LVMH’s brand Rimowa - just a beautiful take on luxury luggage. Imagine my joy when I saw their brand-new “Ode to Aluminum”. It’s perfectly in line with our “Ode to Rivets” series we started a few months ago. Great minds, right? Check out our “Ode to Rivets”.

Thought on The Strand

I love this quote from Tom Ford: “If a bag is attractive, it makes you feel good by default. It's all about proportion, shape, line, finish, fabric, balance. If all of that is pleasing, it will sell. More than that, it's like you've gotta have it or you'll die." That’s what I want every Hammitt fan to crave!

Asked on the Strand

Calling all movie critics and film fans: we have an unreleased Hammitt video featuring a local celebrity known all over California. Watch “Feel Itt, Love Itt, Hammitt”.

Seen on The Strand

Did you know that Hammitt handbags have shown up in over 300 episodes of different TV series? Everything from The Big Bang Theory, 90210, NCIS, This Is Us, Gossip Girl, Entourage, True Blood, Pretty Little Liars, and a handful of movies, including The Bourne Identity and Shaft.


It’s June - go outside and grab some sunshine and smiles,

Tony

The Charles Crossbody in Mosaic Denim/Brushed Gold, crafted with blue, tightly woven corded artwork and medium tan brown leather is the epitome of a summer bag. It pairs perfectly with linen, casual sundresses, and of course, denim, for a relaxed look that is anything but basic.

If you prefer to travel light, the Charles Med in Mahogany Pebble/Brushed Gold Red Zip may be more your style. The warm, medium brown hue and yellow undertones of the mahogany pebbled leather pair beautifully with bright summer colors or neutrals, so you won’t have to worry about fitting all of your must-have handbags into your carry-on. The Charles has you covered! 

If you prefer a lighter-colored yet still versatile colorway for your travels, the Charles in Courtyard Cream is for you. The subtle contrast of the cream pebbled leather with brown leather trim accents creates a unique aesthetic that makes a statement and is effortlessly elegant. Whether you are strolling along the beach or dressing up for dinner, this colorway is a versatile option for any occasion, and may become your new go-to bag.

Maybe you are jet-setting to the beaches in Spain or simply hosting a barbeque in your backyard. Crafted with Spanish Raffia from Alicante, Spain, and soft black pebbled leather, nothing screams summer vacation more than the Charles Medium in Chaparral Raffia. This versatile colorway is suitable for every stop on your itinerary - the pool, the museum, or dinner - and is sure to turn heads. 

Last but not least, we have the Charles Crossbody Large in Pewter Pebble, crafted with a neutral grey brown soft pebbled leather. This neutral bag elevates simple summer outfits, giving them a polished feel, yet it remains a versatile option for whatever adventure your summer getaway calls for.

Regardless of where your summer travels take you, the Charles Crossbody has got you covered for every destination and outfit. Keep your travel essentials organized and carry them hands-free, so you can spend more time enjoying the sights and capturing memorable moments, than digging through your bag looking for your camera.
