“It” purses come and go like this week’s gossip magazine cover girl. But Ashley Watson handbags are designed to stick around – in more ways than one. Not only are the styles classic downtown chic, Ashley Watson bags are handcrafted from recycled leather from charity thrift stores.

Each one-of-a-kind purse is individually handcrafted to an Ashley Watson pattern but maintains the features of the re-purposed leather – for example, the original seams and pockets from a leather jacket. Not only does this give the handbags a cool vintage look that cannot be replicated, it reduces waste and means that no new leather has to be produced.

Sleek top-handle bags with extra long shoulder straps and large slouchy hobos that hold everything from your keys to your planner are perfect for navigating your way through the urban jungle – or at least in Los Angeles, for throwing into the backseat of your hybrid en route to yoga.
