Clothing Designers That Make Great Bags

Ulla Johnson, Isabel Marant, and ALC are known as great clothing lines. They have long been customer favorites (which is why we finally brought back Isabel). But these great brands aren’t just for ready-to-wear anymore. They have all expanded in recent years and started carrying purses - really, really great purses.

We have had Ulla Johnson handbags for a few years now, and each season we tend to bring in more and more styles. They have the perfect size for a purse, in my opinion. I tend to carry either a huge tote that fits everything or a clutch in the evening. But sometimes I really just want a purse, one that maybe can hold a small laptop or iPad but doesn’t look empty when it isn’t full of stuff. The Georgia Hobo and the Albers Tote solve this dilemma. If you do need a big tote, the Imogen large carryall is a great option, and we have it in olive and black.

Now onto Isabel. We are all so excited to have it back at both stores. There are still more styles to arrive, but they have all your purse needs covered. Great totes, cross bodies, clutches, and a great belt bag.

ALC just launched the Paloma bag this spring, and we finally caught on to how great it was and have some for fall. It is an excellent alternative to a clutch since its soft and flexible shape makes for more storage room.

There are so many great purse options in every shape and size. Stop in or check out our selection online.

Owner | The Hive and The Shoe Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
