Los Angeles handbag designer, Amber Pollard, produces expandable handbag styles for savvy working women and stylish, busy moms.  Each style is made from a luxurious shimmer suede, goat skin leather, or an eco-friendly hemp silk.  Amber Pollard specializes in larger handbag styles so busy women can pack all they need for their day including their laptop, lunch, an extra pair of heels and of course the daily essentials. 

Amber Pollard's Expandable Handbag collection is shown here styled with Lorian Lindsay's Fall Winter 2010 Collection as well as handcrafted jewelry by John S. Brana.  All collections are available through the Altitude Fashion Showroom.

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.
