get ready to love your bag

13 years of designing and directing handbags at marc jacobs gave me deep insight into what it takes to craft a better everyday bag. style is only part of the equation — it should also be designed for real life. i created shortylove bags to be softer, smarter more organized. loveworthy.

shorty mantra: smarts

repeat once a day: brains or beauty is a false choice — i can have both and so can my bag. better materials have to prove themselves every day, or they’re not ‘better.’ bags that are full of themselves vs bags that are full of what i need? always the latter!

shorty mantra: simplicity

life is complicated, bags should be easy. streamline my bag, streamline my life. the world needs more pockets. i should be able to find things in my bag without aging a decade every time. when women squeal ‘so cute!!’ and point to my new nylon handbag, that’s a win.

women. men. they. them. love is love when it comes to a shortylove nylon handbag.

we get asked this question a lot! our medium amuse crossbody is consistently our bestseller. why? reading through reviews, people say this everyday bag is the ideal size for most days. unlike many designer women’s handbags,the soft-wearing amuse offers organization in a sleek design that looks chic and spot-cleans with soap and water. it’s also our most gifted bag!

first off: the premium nylon fabrics carefully sourced for our designer women’s handbags are incredibly light — most materials just can’t match it! sloane chose nylon so that the weight of your bag starts as light as possible. second: a soft, plush bag feels so much nicer against the body than the stiffness most luxury women’s handbags offer. third: our nylons look and feel luxurious, but they stand up to real life! water-resistant. spot-clean with soap and water. nylon ftw.

yes! we made our straps removable so you can switch up the look of your crossbody bag to suit your mood or your outfit with our high-quality, 2” wide boardwalk straps. punch up the personality of your shorthand, amuse, wonder or cruiser. woven, never printed. and we’re adding more fun colors and patterns to the collection all the time. so strap in. we’re mixing and matching!

we have designer women’s handbags in a style and size that makes sense for you! need to carry just essentials? look at the arcade belt bag, small cruiser crossbody or shorthand crossbody phone bag. need an everyday bag that’s not too big but not too small? our small ace backpack or amuse and cruiser crossbodies are perfect. need to lug a lot? try the wonder crossbody or even larger boxer backpack.
