when it comes to hunting down the perfect bag, it used to be that you could have loads of style but had to sacrifice utility. or you could find a bag with all the utility you need but had to sacrifice style. why can’t we have both??? that was the puzzle i worked hard to solve when designing my own bag collection. we deserve better! practical handbags that offer organization and comfortable wear. functional designer bags that stand up to daily use with better materials, high-quality hardware and streamlined designs. shortyLOVE is here to make functional everyday handbags with style and substance the new norm. it is the 21st century after all!
heavyweight bags are more of a workout than a sensible daily carry. unfortunately, it’s a workout you never asked for! i want to add as little weight to your day as possible. that’s why i create designer women’s handbags using sleek nylon inside and out. it’s a workhorse of a fabric, designed to hold up to real-world use while looking and feeling luxurious. and bonus: nylon is not only strong, it’s lightweight for unmatched comfort. i then added structured padding underneath the chic exterior of my bags so you can say goodbye to those stiff, hard corners that used to bang into your hip with every step. this is so much better!
another reason i love soft nylon? it’s water-resistant. stylish but immensely practical. and, above all, easy to maintain. functional everyday handbags that simply wipe clean with a little soap and water, so they look good as new!
i make sure my functional designer bags come in a range of styles and sizes — large, medium and small crossbody bags, nylon tote bags, backpacks. your daily needs aren’t exactly the same as hers, his or theirs, so why should your bag be?
i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: your hands have better things to do. that’s why i designed a range of bags to set you free. let’s start with crossbodies, which are popular for all the right reasons! our shorthand, wonder, cruiser and other shortyLOVE crossbodies are designed for us multi-taskers, with a classic, streamlined design that wears close to the body without getting in your way. crossbodies great for dog walks, errands, daytrips and work.
our backpacks come with a range of capacities and organizational features to suit your needs. for work, workout or travel, our large boxer backpack is one of our more popular styles, while our wave quilted tate backpack provides a chic, mid-sized option. just bombing around town? throw on ace, a perfectly proportioned, smaller pack with street smarts.
we also offer a crossbody/sling belt bag with our endlessly useful arcade belt bag, a tote that doubles as a crossbody with our ranger, and the cutest crossbody bucket bag with our marcel. options are your friend at shortyLOVE
whether you’re jet-setting to paradise or zipping off to a work conference, your functional everyday handbags should simplify getting there. lightness is essential for comfortably navigating through airports all day. also, pockets inside and out to organize and keep your credentials handy. add in zippers to hold everything in place, especially when you slide your carry-on under the seat on the plane.
much like our beloved boxer backpack, our tillie tote rises to the top of reviews when it comes to travel. she’s always zipped up and ready to go, and provides plenty of room for travel essentials — headphones, laptop, a stevie cosmetic bag and rfid-blocking jetty clutch or small fabric wallet. plus, her structured base allows her to stand for easy loading. more of my favorite and travel-ready functional designer bags include the massive friday weekender and our low-profile crossbodies, which pack flat for use at your destination. another option: our quilted tate backpack features a convenient luggage pass-through so you can stash her on your rolling luggage.
what good is a stylish bag if you have to struggle to find what you need inside it? when i think of all the time i’ve wasted digging and dumping, oy! in order to be functional, everyday handbags must offer organization, which is why you’ll find helpful features in all of the bags i design. from the small but mighty shorthand phone bag to the large ranger crossbody tote, i’m focused on delivering organization that can make your day easier.
that means cleverly placed pockets inside and out to keep even your smallest essentials handy and contained. problem-solving storage — like water bottle pockets, shoe compartments and padded, secured laptop compartments — to help keep you organized for work and travel. and for the cherry on top: all of our practical handbags feature our signature shortyLOVE blush interior to make quickly finding your stuff a breeze.
quality hardware is one of my functional everyday handbag non-negotiables. whether it’s the amuse or the small cruiser, you’ll always get smart hardware. sturdy, chunky, smooth-riding zippers made with high-quality metal. modern hardware that looks and feels substantial. swivel dog clips to ensure your handbag falls just right as you move. even our plush and packable stevie has a rust-proof Vislon zipper perfect for your bathroom vanity or a steamy gym locker room
my shoulders have zero patience for straps that don’t stay put. i know you feel the same, which is why i pay careful attention when designing straps for my own functional designer bags. crafted using silky, sturdy nylon, shortyLOVE straps are designed to resist digging and sliding off your shoulder. no more constant adjustments while you’re on the go! plus, the strap ends are turned under so they won’t unravel with wear.
you can expect the same high quality from our accessory boardwalk straps as the original straps that come with our practical handbags. crafted of sturdy nylon twill. strap ends are thoughtfully turned under and stitched to eliminate unraveling. woven, never printed patterns. you deserve a better bag — and your bag deserves a better strap!
want to express yourself? our crossbodies, including our crossbody tote!) feature removable straps. this offers you both top-handle and hands-free carrying capabilities. plus, it lets you punch up your bag’s personality in no time with a boardwalk strap. switch it up with bold checks, stripes or arrows to match your outfit or your mood. nothing beats it for adding a pop of color to your day. it’s like getting a new designer functional everyday handbag with every strap!
It hasn’t been easy to find a better bag that checks all the boxes — unique, organized, sized for every day in that just right style. so what did i do? designed it myself, of course! shortyLOVE bags are designed for real life. the crowded commutes. the busy travel days. the endless weekend to-do lists. softer, smarter and more organized, our functional designer bags do it all without missing a beat — or sacrificing style.
