a better bag
a well-designed handbag has more going for it than color. we know you want a bag that stands up to your busy day, which is why our steel blue/charcoal bag collection begins with lightweight, durable nylon on the outside and contrasting blush nylon lining on the inside (to help you spot those elusive items). we didn’t stop there. we added clever storage pockets and high-quality hardware. silky, no-dig, no-slip straps. circular stitching at pressure points adds strength. underneath it all is structured padding for a more comfortable wear. better through and through.
faq
colorblocking is a design style common to art, architecture, interior design and fashion in which two or more colors are set into blocks next to each other to create a strong visual statement. you’ve likely seen the geometric, modernist paintings of piet mondrian, who set bold reds, white, yellow and black into blocks. dating to the late ’40s, the landmark, midcentury modern eames case study house is recognized for its bold, colorblocked exterior. in the 60s, yves saint laurent riffed on those mondrian’s famous paintings to create his iconic, colorblocked mondrian dress. in recent years, colorblocking has seen a resurgence in fashion. shortyLOVE offers two, chic colorblocked collections: steel blue/charcoal and slate/teal.
it really doesn’t! any colors that coordinate with denim blue or dark grey will look great with a colorblocked steel blue/charcoal handbag. both steel blue and charcoal complement most neutrals in your closet: classic black, brown, tan, ivory and white. for a tonal look, wear colors similar to those in the bag — blues and/or greys. for contrast, pair with warm (or even hot) tones like peach, coral, apricot, pale pink or red.
we try not to be stuck on rules when it comes to color, because color preferences are personal. but we do find that our colorblocked steel blue/charcoal handbags work well with our outfits year-round. for example, we’ll throw a steel blue/charcoal shorthand crossbody phone bag over a white and navy striped top and white jeans to go to a festival in the summer, then in the winter wear the same bag over a white puffer to shop the holiday sales or grab a latté. equally stylish over a blazer in a professional setting or a black sundress on an evening out. stylish any day of the year with so many colors!
