Hayden-Harnett

Whether you want an elegant tote to mark you as fashion forward or a unique bag with an edgy look, you only need one, but you’ll want a million. Toni brings six-years of experience in handbag design to the young company. After designing for some of the biggest labels her reluctance to compromise on style and utility, has helped her create two smashing collections of her own. These gorgeous bags don’t come up short when it comes to construction, function and utility. Sourcing and developing the finest leathers from around the world, custom-made hardware and unique finishes, Hayden-Harnett handbags are designed with an unparalleled attention to detail.† You'll never lack for pockets nor will you find more versatility or comfort in bags. Whether it's a convertible leather-trimmed nylon tote that can be worn at least four ways, or a snake clutch with a stow-able shoulder strap and slit pockets for your iPod and phone, Toni and Ben combine their quirky sensibilities, their shared passion for form, function, travel, vintage finds and a rock and roll spirit to produce the handbags you never thought you'ld find at reasonable prices.

WAKE

WAKE offers the perfect fashionable and functional diaper bag with style. Founded in 2003, WAKE is a contemporary brand that embodies a new luxury lifestyle: a fusion of function and fresh fabrication with underlying details in rich aquatic colors. The introduction of The Snappy Pop collection’s “Becky” is the answer to the missing link in the lifestyle movement of fashionable bags with function.

The “Becky” handbag by WAKE offers an innovative and unique design for the hip and stylish mom who won’t be caught anywhere near a bulky, basic colored diaper bag. Designed for either over the shoulder or to be hand held, this bag is ideal for the mom on the go. Multi-taskers, look no further. WAKE handbags combine several functions into one bag for people with busy lifestyles. Consumers desire an all-purpose bag that is sturdy, durable and fashionable. The “Alex,” “Becky,” and “David” are the perfect airplane carry-ons for the jet setter, on the go messengers and businessmen or women on the road. The “Alex” with the special seat-belt buckle for quick release provides urban sophistication for the DJ who needs to carry his records, headsets and equipment.

The “Becky” with large, soft-sided structure and puffed closures can work for men or women as a gym bag, diaper bag or computer bag perfect for a 12’ inch laptop. The “David” with adjustable straps for comfort can carry office work or the much needed margarita mix for your fun weekend getaway! Please visit www.wakenyc.com to view the full handbag collection.
