I feel like people buy and drool over the same bag brands & bag designs as they are “IT Bags” or a “Must Have”. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with that and I do it too, since most of the time, those bags are well made, beautiful designed and drool-worthy (LV speedy, Celine phantom, Chanel 2.55, the list goes on… and they will forever be on my wish list).
However, there are those understated brands that I come across from time to time that should be brought into the spotlight. This past September, during my trip to NYC, I saw THE bag by Olivia Harris. I was familiar with that brand as it is a contemporary/edgy line by Joy Gryson (I previously wanted a zip pocket messenger bag by her but couldn’t get it anywhere!).
The Olivia Harris line is edgy, practical and UNIQUE, not to mention the fact that it’s of great value ($$). The great thing about understated brands is that you won’t see it on 5 other people on the street, which is why I love her designs even more. You can call it Your Own.
Here’s 6 of my favorites – can you guess which one I ended up getting?
- Hendrix Hobo Crossbody
- Gustavia Quilted Satchel
- The Satchel in grape
- Smiths Small Satchel
- Flap Hobo – love this design especially!
- Zip Pocket Foldover Clutch in black
Great picks! 1, 5 & 6 are my favs!

She really is so beauuiftl. I understand your concerns but you are so up for this. You are going to be an amazing mom to your preteen and yes, even teenage girl. She’s going to need you more than ever as she navigates the world of jr. high and high school. Yikes!!
