My VIP Accessory
When it comes to purses, I’m not just looking for a bag to carry, I need a bag to carry me throughout my day. As a mama-on-the-move in NYC, my purse is not just an accessory; it’s a necessity. In a single day, I could go from pushing the double stroller to drop the kids off at school, to a fashion press preview, to a photo shoot, to the grocery store, and end the day on a date night with my husband. My hero handbag must be efficient, versatile, and stylish to accommodate my hectic lifestyle.
Hammitt’s VIP Clutch fits the bill. It has compartments to keep me organized so I can easily locate my phone, credit card, and candy bribes for the girls. It is deceivingly spacious with a magnetic, fold-over style which allows enough room for me to keep snacks, a light sweater, a phone charger, a hairbrush, a small camera, and countless other items my day may require. I’ve even been known to walk around with 4 big pairs of earrings...you never know when there could be a jewelry emergency!!
This functional bag is also lightweight and comes with a cross-body strap, perfect for my hands-on mommy moments. Because lord knows I’ll be tying Stella’s shoes, rubbing Juliet’s belly, putting a straw in an apple juice box, and helping change the Barbie’s dress, all while pushing the stroller. When, I’m ready to upgrade my look from day-to-night, I simply snap off the strap and put it inside a zipper compartment, to carry the bag as a clutch.
From a fashion perspective, the VIP Clutch is extremely easy to wear with its classic style and it comes in 18 unique color/hardware combinations to satisfy any woman’s taste. Here I am wearing the Jurassic pebbled leather with brushed gold hardware. It is neutral, but still makes a statement, and is perfect for every season. Thank you, Hammitt, for making my chaotic life just a little bit easier with this one!
