The brown bag lunch - oh so practical, yet so very hard to pull off in stilettos! 

Amber Pollard has set out to bring style and sophistication to the brown-bagged lunch on the go.  Women shouldn't have to sacrifice fashion for function.  Whether she's making her way in the working world or holding up the fort at home, a woman deserves to look good doing it!  For that reason, Amber Pollard wanted to create a handbag for women with fashion savvy sensibilities and taste for the better things in life. 

"For these styles, I designed the textures and layers to be eye-catching and feminine but with a little attitude," describes Amber Pollard of her latest eco-friendly handbag styles.

“I have to mention my new favorite purse.  It’s the all-vegan Picnic bag in Cream by Amber Pollard.

Amber Pollard is a handbag designer, and just made each of her bags available in vegan materials!  It’s made of hemp, and it’s so chic.  I imagine Kate Moss wearing it.

This would make a great, super nice gift either from a very loved one to you….or as  very generous gift from you to a loved one.

You can check out Amber’s great bags HERE.”

Every woman loves handbags and most of us have more than a few.  They cater to different seasons, day or evening, carry-alls or clutches, and sometimes we buy them just to lift our mood.  They all serve a purpose, or at least an aesthetic need.

The designer handbags by Amber Pollard came to be because this Los Angeles-based designer is a health-conscious working woman who packed her lunch every day.  Amber believes that if we take the time to make our own meals, rather than grabbing fast food or spending more than $15 on a bistro lunch, we can not only eat better but also control our day to day spending.

Purchasing an Amber Pollard handbag may be an aesthetic choice because they are ultra chic.  But owning an Amber Pollard handbag will remind us to take a little extra time for ourselves each day to ensure we eat right, spend less, and stay organized.
