[Shopping for Quality] #1. Professional Handbags

You are a woman on-the-go. That means you need everything at your fingertips wherever you are. But, that doesn’t mean you have to lug around an ugly, bulky bag. The new Petra bag from Everlanewill hold everything from your lipstick to your laptop, and is sure to complete any professional look.

The Workmanship

The Everlane factory is located in a remote, little town outside of Venice, Italy. The designers have a lifetime of experience and treat their craftsmanship as an art form. Every single detail from the delicate straps down to the chrome embellishments, is constructed with artisanal excellence. Other notable details: tonal ultrasuede lining and two canvas pockets with snap closures.

The Material

With a 100% Italian leather exterior, this luxurious bag is super soft and built to wear over time. In production, Everlane leather is put through multiple tests in order to find the perfect thickness and the perfect weight that allow the bag to maintain its structure.

The Cost Per Wear

Everlane believes in transparent pricing — customers having the right to know what their products cost to make. They take the materials, hardware, labor, duties, and transport into consideration when finding the true cost of the product. The price is then compared between the true value, the Everlane value, and the overpriced traditional retail value. They are reassuring their customers that they are getting a finely-crafted, quality product that is priced reasonably with the true cost.
