is it a HANDBAG that doubles as a TOTE BAG or vice versa?

Since we’ve been contacted by style/fashion bloggers one surprising question came up. What makes a HARDWARE handbag differ from say a cotton canvas L.L Bean or Lands End tote bag? Well, I have to say, that this question really threw me for a loop. I have a Land’s End tote and I used to sell fabric to L.L. Bean (a great outdoor brand and company) but our bags are not in that category I don't think. Our SHORTY and SHOPPER from the Nylon Canvas collection is meant to be a handbag (albeit a sporty one) for your personal things that also doubles as a tote (babies/beach/gym/work) instead of a tote doubling as a handbag.

Here’s a picture gallery to give you some additional shots we don’t have on our website to give you a closer, inside look at our line:

inside look of a SHORTY. can you see the big pockets? if not see below.....



inside my everyday SHORTY bag. if i'm going to the gym i just 'add in' my ipod and water to the deep side pockets and go.

same SHORTY...taking daughter to ballet.....

inside my SHOPPER. The super deep pockets hold a large Nalgene bottle, magazine, large wallet, etc.
