Why Hammitt

Our Story

Hammitt is a design-forward leather brand, established in Los Angeles to shake up the accessory world with a mix of style and functionality. Co-founded by visionaries Stephenie Hammitt and Tony Drockton, this line is for bold, creative expressionists and those that are out for more than just a look—Hammitt’s a lifestyle.

It all started back in 2008 when Stephenie set out to redefine luxury handbags.She wanted something that felt as good as it looked—leather that was buttery soft, hardware that shimmered, and designs that mixed classic with cool. These early years established something special: A pride that ignites in its wearers, a passion for bringing people together, and relentless attention to detail that’s manifested into a movement.

This elite customer experience has remained our North Star. Hammitt bags have become the ultimate accessory for anyone looking to turn heads with the glimmer of a rivet - and the courage to stand out. We continue to build individual connections with every customer, with 24/7 concierge care that’s based right by the beach in LA.

But here's the twist: it’s not just about looking good. Hammitt’s commitment to quality? Through annual and ongoing donations, Hammitt contributes to worthy causes, ensuring that every purchase also contributes to making the world a better place. A Hammitt bag isn’t just an accessory—it’s a symbol. A symbol that you don’t follow trends: You set them. So, next time you’re on the town, keep an eye out for those iconic rivets. Because one thing’s for sure: when you’re carrying a Hammitt, the world notices. And who wouldn’t want to be noticed?
