sustainable Handmade Purses: Elevating Everyday Style
Guess writer: Amanda Grimm.
In a world where fast fashion dominates, there’s something uniquely special about incorporating handmade purses into everyday outfits. Whether I’m casually running errands, heading to the office, or attending a seasonal event, these handcrafted accessories add a touch of elegance and sustainability to my look. I know how Jess meticulously crafts each purse or backpack from high-quality Pendleton wool and eco-friendly canvas. She’s created a business centered around mindful production and reduced manufacturing waste. Let’s take a look at how these beautiful, slow-fashion pieces seamlessly blend into my daily life.
The Corporate Classic with a Sustainable Twist
Need a versatile purse that can effortlessly transition from the office to after-hours events? Look no further than Land & Kamp’s Crossbody Purse. I attended a conference back in May. I always send Jess pics of my OOTDs, so this was just an everyday hotel selfie. I dress primarily in solid colors, so incorporating a handmade eco-friendly canvas purse with unique patterns into an office outfit can effortlessly elevate my outfit. I like the contrast between the solid, professional attire and the eye-catching, handcrafted accessory because it creates an interesting balance. It’s a subtle yet fun way to make a statement in the workplace to blend professional attire with individuality.
Weekend Wanderlust: Eco-Friendly and Stylish
For your weekend adventures, the Crossbody purse is the perfect companion. Crafted from Pendleton wool, this spacious tote bag is both durable and stylish. Last weekend, I took a drive to enjoy the fall flower fields at Holland Ridge, here in New Jersey. There are acres of sunflowers and other fall blooms to wander and cut to take home your own bouquet. I love the plaid pattern of this purse; it gives so many options to mix and match and create a unique outfit.
Sustainable Fashion: A Statement of Style and Ethics
Jessie’s L&K business taught me that sustainable fashion isn't about limitations and trends but creative possibilities. I find myself being more selective about the clothing I buy, trying to curate a closet with classic pieces that will be enjoyed longer than the passing trend. I find myself checking out more artisanal and handmade businesses in an effort to support someone’s craft and quality-made goods. By choosing L&K’s handmade purses, you're not only investing in a high-quality product but also supporting ethical and sustainable practices.
