Over the decades, the inside of our handbags has changed as much as the outside. A modern woman of 2018 has much different needs than a woman who carried a handbag 50 years ago.

In 1968, a woman didn’t have to worry about losing a tablet or expensive key fob. Back then, a woman carried a dime in her handbag in case she needed to make a phone call. Today, a woman carries an entire phone.

Regardless of the year on the calendar, carrying everything you need in your handbag-- without causing permanent shoulder damage-- can be tricky. The key is to prioritize.

The big three, of course, are keys, phone and wallet. But here are some other essentials which will turn your Evve handbag into a stylish survival kit.

Portable Charger

We’ve all been in a restaurant or airport, frantically searching for an outlet to charge our phone. As the battery power number goes low, our blood pressure goes up.

Instead of depending on an outside power source, carry a portable charger in your handbag so your phone will never die.

The OLOLOA S-70 comes with two built-in Lightning and USB cables so you can charge your iPhone or Android devices without carrying an additional cord. Available on Amazon for $29.99, it’s far cheaper than an emergency trip to the salon after you’ve pulled out your hair while looking for a place to plug in.

GPS Tracker

Losing your handbag, phone or your wallet can cause weeks of heartache as you call credit card companies, make trips to the DMV or try to recreate your contacts.

The TrackR can be attached to your handbag, and/or everything in your handbag, so you’ll have an easier time recovering your belongings after you’ve foolishly left your handbag on the back of the chair at Starbucks…or was it in the fitting room at Macys?

Foldable Flats 

When it comes to sore feet, desperate times often call for desperate measures. However, walking along a city street barefoot, while carrying your stilettos should never be the solution. This practice is unsafe, unsanitary and downright disgusting. Your feet will turn blacker than your laptop.

Lightweight, foldable flats fit easily into your handbag and can be carried every day, not just when you go out dancing. Many companies make them but

Dr. Scholl’s Fast Flats are so reasonably priced you can treat them as disposable shoes.

Personal Alarm Keychain

Women have always had to worry about safety. Sadly, a woman walking alone to her car—or carriage, or horse, depending on the century—has always been a target.

The Vigilant alarm keychain emits a noise loud enough to alert help. There’s also a backup whistle in case the battery fails.

Travel Size Sunscreen

Sunscreen isn’t just for vacation. These days, we understand the importance of protecting our precious skin all year. A travel size sunscreen fits perfectly in any handbag and will prevent a blistering burn when we meet a friend for an impromptu, al fresco lunch.

The Clinique Sunscreen Stick has an SPF of 45 and the stick design makes it easy to apply.

Bamboo Folding Fan

Sweating is rarely attractive. While others melt around you, beat the heat the Queen Victoria way.

The folding fans available on Etsy range from handmade to mass-produced. Many of the designs are Asian-inspired while others are whimsical to downright gaudy. The smaller fans won’t take up much room in your handbag, but they’ll provide big relief from both internal and external heat blasts.

Tissues 

We tend not to think of tissues until we need one. But, when we need one, we really need one.

Be a hero to your sneezing or crying friend by magically producing a tissue from your handbag instead of from your sweater sleeve like Grandma used to do. The Kleenex Slim Pack Wallet Size tissues are a good option.

Tampon Case 

There are few things in life more embarrassing than dropping your handbag at a party or a meeting and watching a tampon roll across the floor.

Sprayco has a cute little, brightly colored case to keep you from ever accidentally pulling out a tampon in a restaurant or at the bank ever again.

Disposable Toothbrush

Mints are good, but brushing your teeth after a shrimp scampi lunch is even better, especially if you have spinach in your teeth.

The Colgate Wisp Mini-brush is 75% smaller than an actual toothbrush so it’s perfect for your Evve handbag.

 

What are your handbag essentials? Tell us in the comments!

Unless you’re an impressive Black Friday shopper, you’re like us, and still have countless people to check off your gift-buying list.

The struggle is real.

The good news is that you’re not in this alone. Early December is the perfect time to cross all your ‘t’s and dot all your ‘i’s for the holidays. And we’re here to help you make this gift buying season the best ever. 

Don’t be that friend or family member who gives another gift card because you ran out of time and ideas. Instead, be the person who buys that perfect, highly personalized gift that they’re sure to love for years to come. A great place to start is with a gorgeous Evve handbag.

Why Evve Handbags Make the Perfect Gift

A beautiful handbag can send just the right message.

It tells the recipient, “I know who you are. I see your personality. I know your goals, and I want to help you get there.” That’s because the right handbag is perfectly suited to the person.

Plus, a handbag isn’t just a pretty bauble. It’s also practical.

Most women can’t get by without our handbags, and we wouldn’t want to. So, receiving the gift of a handbag is receiving something that’s vital to our daily lives. It’s what we use to carry all the essentials as we head to work, to the store, or for a night out on the town. In some cases, it’s our security blanket and one of the most important items we own.

So, it’s imperative that you get it right. Thankfully, it’s not that hard. We’ve broken down a list of different types of women and the Evve Milano handbag that’s perfect for them.

The Young Professional

For a young woman getting ready to enter the workplace, things can be tough. She’s probably unsure about where and how she’ll get a job, and if she’ll be good enough for it. And even if she’s already been in the workforce for a few years, she’s most likely struggling to climb the ladder and prove her worth.

For her, she needs a power bag that instills confidence and shows she’s ready to work.

It should be big enough to hold her laptop and other work essentials, while clean and professional enough to suit any work outfit and situation. She wants something that can go from the boardroom to the break room.

Our choice: the FONTANA Tote. In gorgeous blue, this feminine chic tote is perfect for work and a night out. 

The Party Girl 

No matter the age, every girl has a party girl on the inside—the girl who loves to go out for a night on the town and let her hair down.

This is a girl that can’t be bothered with a huge bag that will put a cramp in her style. 

Instead, she wants a simple wristlet or pouch that is large enough to hold her essentials—such as a great lipstick—but small enough to slip on her wrist so she can party and forget about it.

Our choice: the Lichtenstein Wristlet. This decorative wristlet is fun, funky, and practical.

The Shopaholic

You know that girl who always finds the best deals; the one that is at the mall almost every weekend and always walks away with something fabulous?

She’s savvy, hard working, and determined, and she needs an Evve-Milano handbag that matches her personality.

The key to a shopaholic is that they don’t want any more burdens on top of their shopping bags. These women know what they want and how to get it, and they require a handbag that has the same determination.

It must be sleek, comfortable, and practical.

Our choice: the CARACAS Shoulder Bag. This bag, made of vegan, pebbled leather, has gorgeous metallic decoration to fit their love of beauty while also being incredibly practical.

The Mom

Anyone will tell you that being a mom changes your entire life. It also changes your bag needs. And while some moms have resigned themselves to using a diaper bag as their handbag, there’s no need to let things degenerate that far. Instead, a tote is always a great option.

When you need to carry everything and the kitchen sink with you, a small bag isn’t going to cut it. You need an Evve Milano handbag that can handle anything you can throw at it and beg for more. 

Our choice: the SPROUSE Tote. This decorative handbag is not only gorgeous, but it has a ton of room inside to carry everything you could need.

The Traveler 

Some girls just love to move!

They love to walk the streets of new cities, explore new wildernesses, and go wherever the wind blows. These women are full of adventure and excitement, and they need a bag that won’t hold them back. 

Travelers are practical and stylish at the same time. They know what’s required to visit new places and they’re masters at fitting in wherever they go. They want a bag that holds all the essentials and stays out of the way, so they never have to slow down.

Our choice: the MONDRIAN Long Crossbody. This bag with its unique patchwork design comes in the perfect medium-size with a long shoulder strap for the ultimate in versatility.

If you don’t see the perfect bag for the woman you love on our list, don’t worry! We have plenty more options. The key is to match the bag to her personality, and then you can’t go wrong!

Are you looking for a new handbag but you don’t know where to start?

We don’t blame you for being confused.

There are so many gorgeous Evve handbags on our website that it can be hard to choose the right one for you. We would recommend buying all of them, but that’s probably not the most affordable choice—though it’s a lovely thought.

Instead, we thought we’d help you out by taking you through our best sellers. These Evve handbags are the ones that excite the most people. Our fan favorites, if you will.

And the good news is, they’re all very different and unique, so you’re sure to find one that matches your personal style!

BRAQUE Crossbody

The first handbag on our best sellers list, the BRAQUE Crossbody, is one of those “for all occasions” bags.

The design is detailed but elegant. Made with 100% vegan leather in a light cream color, the style is one that goes with every outfit whether you’re wearing patterns, bright colors, or neutrals.

And don’t get us started on the details that make this purse. The tassel, gunmetal-tone hardware, and synthetic leather squares in silver, all come together to make an interesting and stylish bag. Plus, it has an adjustable strap to fit any body type and size as well as a lightweight feel, so you’re not stuck lugging around a bag that hurts your shoulders and acts more as a battering ram than a purse.

CARACAS Satchel

Our CARACAS Satchel is an edgy addition to any wardrobe. The design is simple while also evoking a sense of old school rock and roll. The vegan, pebbled leather in black is clean and supple while also aesthetically pleasing. But where it stands out in the crowd is its metallic decoration. With metallic accents on the shoulder strap and the front, you have subtle detailing that makes a statement without screaming, “here I am.”

What we really like about this handbag is the storage space. This bag is just big enough to handle anything you throw at it. It easily fits a wallet, makeup bag, and other essentials with room to spare. Plus, there are plenty of storage compartments to ensure that you always stay organized.

CARACAS Shoulder Bag

What can we say?

Our CARACAS handbags are popular.

Similar to its cousin, the CARACAS Shoulder Bag is all about design. We love its slouchy, relaxed look that fits both a day at the office as well as a day about town. Made of the same vegan pebbled leather with metallic decoration, this handbag is what all handbags should be.

What makes this bag different is its strap. We’re huge fans of shoulder straps that keep our Evve handbag tucked tight to our body and comfortable. This bag fits that need to a “t.”

Just look what Venessa had to say about her purchase, “A very good size, perfect for taking everything I need with me.”

DEGAS Crossbody

When you want style, you want the DEGAS Crossbody. This bag is so cute it should be illegal. 

What we love:

• Hard shell made of 100% vegan leather
• Funky and fun square shape
• Decorative features including the “Hello” detailing and detachable heart-shaped charm
• Decorated handle and shoulder strap

This bag has something for everyone. It’s perfect for day trips—just large enough to hold everything you need while keeping it organized. It uses solid zippers to keep the inner compartments tucked away safe and sound, so you can explore the world without any concerns. Best yet, it’s just a fun bag for any occasion.

DETROIT Tote

Sometimes you just need a heavy-duty bag that can hold your entire world. That’s where the DETROIT Tote is the bag for you. We’re huge fans of big handbags that can work for the office—in place of a briefcase—and then easily transition to a night out.

This bag truly does it all.

You can carry it by its handle on the top or sling it over your shoulder with an edgy, chain and vegan leather shoulder strap.

As for the design, this tote is both funky and fun. The top folds over while wearing it by the shoulder strap for a one-of-a-kind relaxed look. But when holding it by the handles, it looks like the perfect business-professional purse. As for the detailing, we love the decorative zippers and long zipper pulls, which add a little bit of fringe.

 

There’s a reason our best sellers are the best.

Do your outfit and your handbag have to match? It seems like so much work! 

Really, it’s not as difficult as you think. You don’t have to have a hundred handbags to look stylish every time you go out. The key is ensuring that you have a few show-stopping handbags that can go with a range of outfits from casual to fancy. Because, let us tell you, when your handbag and outfit work together, there’s no stopping you.

So, how do you create that “oh-so-special” look?

Fit the Occasion 

The first key to matching your handbag and clothes is dressing to the occasion. Whether you’re going to the mall, into the office, to a wedding, or out on a date, you need a different Evve Milano handbag to go with the occasion. There are a few quick rules of thumb for this concept:

• Small bags, like our Miro Shoulder Bag, create a more sophisticated look for special events.
• Large bags, such as our Colombo Tote, create a more laid-back look. 

However, there are some situations where these rules can and should be broken. Let’s break down a few outfits by occasion.

1. Shopping: We love using an over-sized duffle or hobo bag when we’re dressed in casual sneakers, shorts/jeans, and t-shirts at the mall. It’s practical and cute.
2. Summer: For your favorite summer dress and sandal combination, we recommend a slim, over-the-shoulder bag like our SPROUSE Tote. The clean lines of this bag will let you focus on the flowing beauty of your dress.
3. Office: At the office, practicality and power are the name of the game. If you’re wearing a tailored pantsuit, you’ll want to get the same business look with a structured bag like our MATISSE Satchel. This type of satchel also looks incredible with a high-waisted skirt and cardigan combo.
4. Night Out: Whether you’re dressed in a cocktail dress or a long gown, that’s your cue for a formal and dressy clutch or miniature bag. This is definitely not the time to wear an over-the-shoulder bag. Instead, grab our Lichtenstein Wristlet. 

Consider Your Body Shape 

The next key to pairing your outfits and handbags is your body shape. Just as you wear different clothes depending on your body type, you should buy different purses. Some bags will help you counterbalance your curves or add curves, whichever you need. Let’s talk about different body types and the handbags made for each.

• Pear-Shaped: If you carry most of your weight on your hips, then you definitely want to avoid hip-length bags. These handbags will only emphasize your hips, drawing the eye to the one part of your body where you don’t want it to go. Instead, choose a waist-length bag to focus all the attention on your slim middle.
• Busty: If you have a large bust, you’ll want to avoid saddle bags. All these handbags will do is draw additional attention to your cleavage. Instead, opt for a shoulder bag like our CARACAS.
• Curvaceous: If you have all the right curves in all the right places, consider a long, slim bag. Particularly if you are short as well as curvy, a long bag will help you appear slim and taller. If you’re tall and curvy, try a low-hanging bag.
• Petite: For women who have a petite figure, you don’t want a bag that will swallow you. Avoid bags with long straps or fringes that could take over an outfit. Instead, keep it simple with something like our BRAQUE Crossbody.
• Tall & Slim: If you are tall and slim, you want a bag that is just the opposite. Choose rounded and oversized bags to help counterbalance your physique. And you definitely want to avoid any long, slim bags no matter what.

Fabric and Color

The final element of matching your clothes to your handbags is coordination. How much matching is too much? You definitely don’t want to look like a grandma with a bag, shoes, and dress that all look like they’re from the same fabric. The key is to match without clashing. So, how do you do it? 

• Vary the Color: When matching your shoes and bag to your outfit, make sure you choose colors that are just slightly different. For example, if you’re wearing a gorgeous fire-engine red dress, choose shoes and a handbag that are either slightly darker or lighter so your reds don’t clash.
• Change the Material: Don’t match the same material as your dress. If your dress is a silky fabric, choose a synthetic leather purse.
• Mix Patterns: It’s okay to mix your patterns up a bit to make a big statement. For example, you could pair our leopard print JANE Crossbody with a striped shirt or dress. Just be sure not to pair one type of leopard print with a different but similar kind.

It’s finally the fall, and that means it’s time to change out your bag! There are some incredible bag trends this autumn that we can’t wait to try. From statement straps to oversized bags and the vintage look, there’s a fall handbag trend that’s perfect for everyone.

At Evve Handbags, we’re all about being trendy and practical. After all, beauty and function should go hand-in-hand when it comes to your purse. So, our collection of bags not only fits the latest and greatest “ins” of the season, but they also work for everyday use.

If you’re ready for a new bag, we’ve picked out our top five Evve handbags that match this fall’s latest fashion trends. 

Statement Straps

As the weather gets cooler and we begin to wear jackets and layers, it’s the small details that really matter. That’s why one of the biggest trends this fall is a bag with a statement strap. You see these statement straps from all the biggest designers such as Mulberry, Alexander Wang, and Evve Handbags. Just take a look at our Signorini Shoulder Bag.

This Evve handbag says, “I’m sassy and useful” with a bright teal faux python strap and matching heart-shaped charm. The heart shaped charm is functional and can be used as a removable “coin” pouch. 

Made of 100% vegan leather, it’s environmentally friendly while still looking like something you could have picked up on the runway. 

Micro Bags 

Another “in” handbag is the micro bag. These bags aren’t about what you can carry, but using your handbag as a fashion statement similar to a piece of jewelry. You’ll see these adorable and fun micro bags from designers such as Fendi, Coach, and Tory Burch. And, don’t worry, we’ve got the perfect Evve handbags edition: the Lichtenstein Wristlet.

This wristlet is fun, funky, and practical. It features metal appliques and patches for a laid-back look that’s perfect for a night out on the town or a quick lunch. Plus, unlike some other micro bags, it can actually hold quite a few items including your makeup, wallet, and a few other essentials. 

Oversized Bags

On the other end of the spectrum, fall 2017 is all about going big. Oversized bags that allow you to pack everything you could need for a long weekend or a busy day at the office are extremely trendy. In particular, we love these bags because they give us so much freedom to take everything with us no matter where we’re headed. The perfect example is our Sprouse Tote. 

Unlike some oversized bags, the Sprouse Tote knows the fine line you have to walk between large and “Oh my gosh, are you carrying your entire house?” It’s a highly versatile bag made of gorgeous vegan leather with an intricate chain and eyelet design on the front. Designed in neutral shades, it also matches the fall pallet where “nudes” are a must-have.

Architectural Bags

Just like with the fall clothing trends, structure is “in” when it comes to bags. To match the trend, you want a bag that embraces architecture with sharp edges and innovative shapes. Designers such as Chloé, Dior, and Gabriela Hearst all jumped on this trend. And that’s why you’ll love so many Evve handbags including the Dali Crossbody. 

How often do you run across a burgundy, vegan leather bag that has a very pronounced square shape?

Not that often. So, when you see one, you have to snap it up. 

The Dali Crossbody is decorated with interlacing and ethnic studs for a unique charm that will stand out in the crowd. And thanks to its architectural design, this handbag will always stand upright making it easy to get into and out of whenever you want.

Vintage Treasure 

Finally, fall 2017 is all about going vintage and showing off a handbag that would have made your grandmother proud. The key to a good vintage bag is the “old world” look with a few new tweaks and pieces of interest. For that reason, the Jane Crossbody is a must-have! 

Its classic black, quilted pattern says, “I’m a lady with class and style.” But what really makes the bag are the details, which present a new twist on vintage. From the heart-shaped charm to floral quilting and charming metal buckle, it’s all the little things that count. 

This Evve handbag is one that you could buy now and use for years to come, and it would never go out of style. It’s a classic.

Do you have a favorite look this fall? Let us know in the comments, and you could see a new Evve handbag that matches your idea on our website!

Let’s get really honest for a second. We love our Evve handbags—we dote on them—but we’re not always nice to them. That’s because when it comes down to it, we’re busy women and we don’t have time to care for our bags. 

Yes, we’ll do our best to hang our handbag on the back of a chair instead of placing it on the floor, and to keep it cleaned out, at least that first week. Then, life happens: we drop our handbag on the floor; our makeup bag pops open and face powder spills everywhere. Our handbags are durable, but they’re not destruction proof.

If you want to ensure that your satchels, purses, shoulder bags, and totes stay in mint condition, follow these eight tips for keeping your Evve handbag stunning for years to come.

Easy Maintenance Tips for Evve Handbag 

1. Store It Properly

Don’t be tempted to throw your handbag on the ground or kitchen table when you get home.

And your closet? It can be a death trap for bags! 

Instead, make your bag last longer by storing it in an upright position and using a dust bag or cotton pillowcase to store your bag in. This is a particularly good idea when storing your bag for the season.

To keep your Colombo Tote doubly protected, stuff it with scarves, sweaters, or tissue paper to help it hold its shape. The key: never store inside a plastic or vinyl bag that traps moisture and cross the handles over each other to avoid wear.

 2. Clean Immediately

Life happens. You’re going to stain your Evve handbag at one time or another. The key is to remove stains immediately.

• Food: Crush white chalk on the stain, let sit overnight, and brush off in the morning.
• Oil: Rub on cornstarch until oil is absorbed and then brush off.
• Ink or Dirt: Use a white eraser to immediately erase the spot.
• Water: Blot the water and let it dry naturally.

As for odor removal, fill a plastic bag with baking soda and place it in your bag for one to two days until the odor is absorbed.

3. Protect the Inside

The inside of your handbag is going to see the most wear, so do your best to protect it. 

Don’t allow your makeup, keys, pens, and money free-float in your purse. Use a wallet and pouches to keep everything contained.

As a side benefit, you’ll also be more organized. Pouches can protect you from ink leaks, melting lipstick, and a whole host of other issues.

4. Avoid Dirty Hands 

We’ve all taken our purse into the restroom, and that’s typical, but it can cause some problems. One of the best ways to protect your Evve handbag from wear and tear is to handle it with clean hands.

Your hands are packed full of dirt, natural oils, and daily grime. If you do have to touch your bag with dirty hands, try to only touch the handles until you can wash up. 

5. Be Careful of Metal 

Our Caracas Handbag is gorgeous with all that metal detailing, but it can cause an issue. Metal, when not handled correctly, can scratch your bag and even get scratched up itself. 

Use a Mr. Clean Magic Easer to keep your metal accents shiny and new, and when storing your bag, make sure the metal zippers and features are stored correctly so they don’t tarnish or scratch your purse.

6. Repair Immediately 

Just as we told you to clean your bag immediately, the same goes for repairs. If your zipper breaks or you get a small tear in your bag from poor handling, don’t wait to get it fixed.

Instead, take your Evve handbag into a professional immediately and repair even the smallest damage a.s.a.p. 

7. Swap Out Your Bags

You might have a favorite Evve handbag, but that doesn’t mean you should use it every day for years.

Instead, swap out your handbag every few weeks. By rotating your favorite Miro Shoulder Bag with your other favorite Rubens Tote, you can ensure that they both stay looking like new for far longer. 

8. Daily Maintenance 

Finally, the key is to implement a regular Evve handbag maintenance routine. 

• Keep your bag out of direct sunlight; this applies to where you set your bag in the office or at the restaurant.
• Wipe your bag down on a weekly basis with a soft, white cloth to remove oils and dirt.
• Avoid setting your handbag on counters or floors in public places to avoid dirt and grime buildup on the bottom of your bag.

We promise that if you take care of your Evve handbag, it will take care of you for years to come!

 Most of us have at least half a dozen handbags in our closet. We have a clutch for fancy occasions, a tote for work, a cute brightly colored handbag that we just couldn’t say ‘no’ to, and a few extra thrown in there “just in case”.

But no matter how many Evve handbags we have, there’s probably one go-to bag that we use more than any other. It’s this bag that we’re talking about today.

Your favorite handbag is more than just a purse; it’s a piece of your personality. The type of handbag you use reveals quite a bit about who you are, what you like, and where you see yourself.

So, what does your favorite Evve handbag say about you?

Express Yourself with Evve Handbags

Crossbody: Practical & Functional

If you love our Evve-Milano Crossbody Wonders, then you’re the type of girl who knows what you want and doesn’t need anything else. 

To you, a bag should be able to carry the necessities like your phone, wallet, keys, and little else. You don’t need to have everything and the kitchen sink with you. Instead, you’re the type of woman that doesn’t want to be weighed down by extraneous weight and expectations. You get things done and see your purse as just another tool in your impressive arsenal.

That’s not to say that you’re not a little adventurous too.

Crossbody Evve handbags make a power statement with styles and designs that pop. Who says a girl can’t be practical and sassy? We don’t.

That’s why the Dali Crossbody exists!

Evve Handbag: Classic and Confident

An Evve handbag is perfect for the busy modern woman. You’ve got things to do, places to be, and people to meet. You’re a goal-oriented woman who has a strong self-image. No one can tell you what to do; you’re independent and headstrong.

At the same time, you’re no fashion dummy. You know exactly what type of statement a gorgeous handbag can make and so you carefully choose your Evve handbag based on the situation and what’s called for. When you need to be edgy and in-charge, you grab your Caracas Handbag, and you’re out the door with your head held high! 

Pouches: Idealist &/or Minimalist 

Let’s be honest, if you can make it out the front door with only a small pouch, you’re leaving no room for error. 

Women who only need an Evve pouch are positive, upbeat, and never expect anything to go wrong. They believe that the world will do what they need, so there’s no reason to plan for every eventuality. These women have a passion for life and a positive attitude that is infectious. 

These women are also minimalists. All they need is a credit card and their ID to get around the world. They’ll buy whatever they need and shrug their shoulders about the rest. A Warhol Pouch makes for an easygoing life.

Shoulder Bags: Multi-tasker

Shoulder bag wearers are no pushovers.

You can handle your crazy boss, your demanding kids, breakfast with friends, and a quick run through the grocery store, and that’s all before 10:00 am!

You’re a woman who’s got every essential in her bag including snacks, floss, a lint roller, a notepad, and a pen. And you keep your Evve handbag on your shoulder so that your hands are always free to handle whatever is thrown your way.

To tote loving women, there’s no such thing as being over-prepared, and you’re not afraid to let everyone know that you’ve got everything you could need in your Evve handbag. 

If you’re a tote lover, you’ve got a lot to juggle in your life, but that doesn’t slow you down. You use your tote to keep you organized and on top of your life, and you’re good to go. 

Tote lovers are also dependable. They’re the type of woman that everyone turns to in a time of crises because they know she’ll know what to do. After all, with a Sprouse Tote on your shoulder, how couldn’t you be ready to take on the world and win?

Wristlet: Carefree & Fun

Everyone knows that the perfect bag varies based on the occasion. A clutch might be picture-perfect for your cousin’s wedding, but it would be terrible to use for a day at the office. The great news is that there is an Evve-Milano handbag for every occasion!

Whether you’re looking for a work tote or a simple handbag for the club, we’ve got the ideal purse to fit your style and needs. After all, there is no such thing as having too many Evve handbags!

The Office

Your everyday office bag is probably one of the most important Evve handbags in your collection. That’s because not only does it get the most use, it has to be functional and gorgeous if it’s going to get the job done right.

Personally, we think the Fontana Tote offers that perfect mix of style and practicality.

• Synthetic Leather: Synthetic leather is key for work. Things get messy in the office between your coworkers and your busy day, so you need something that’s easy to clean and maintain.
• Size: Bigger is better for the office. This tote is big enough to fit your files, folders, laptop, phone, wallet, and even a pre-packed lunch.
• Style: The Fontana Tote is clean, simple, and stylish. The gorgeous dark blue coloring can pair with almost any outfit. 

A Night Out

When you’re going out for a night on the town, you need a practical yet beautiful purse that makes a statement without breaking your wallet. That’s where the Jane Crossbody bag becomes the perfect choice.

• Flexible: The removable strap lets you keep your bag close and comfortable while you’re walking to the next bar, and the handle makes it the perfect date night clutch.
• Decorative: A night out Evve-Milano handbag shouldn’t be boring. The Jane Crossbody has decorative metal accents along with leopard print belts to help you make a drastic statement.
• Practical: This bag has a hard case and simple closing latch so you can carry everything you need while not looking like you have your entire makeup kit ready for emergencies.

Traveling

Whether you’re in a new city for a work trip or you’re on vacation halfway around the world, the right Evve-Milano handbag can make all the difference.

You want a bag that’s as durable and practical as you are when you travel. That’s why we love the Mondrian Crossbody.

• Comfortable: When you travel, you want a purse that can travel with you and not kill your shoulders. This bag has a comfortable webbing shoulder strap that you can wear all day and all night.
• Style: Just because you’re traveling, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be stylish. This Evve handbag’s patchwork design says, “I don’t care because I know I look good!”

A Wedding

When you’re about to dance the night away at a wedding reception, the last thing you want to worry about is your purse. Plus, a big handbag will ruin the line of the gorgeous dress that you got just for the occasion. This is why you need the Matisse Pouch.

• Small: You don’t need to carry much at a wedding, just your lipstick and a few other essentials. The Matisse gives you just enough room to carry what you need without being a burden.
• Detailed: The key to a good wedding clutch is in the details. The Matisse has a unique four-needle quilted look with gorgeous ruffle detailing and a heart graphic on the front and back. 

A Day Shopping 

Too many of us get into the habit of using our work purse for the weekend, and that’s a shame. The weekend is the perfect time to put away the office and to enjoy being free women. 

That’s why we always change out our work tote for the simple yet edgy Caracas Evve Handbag.

• Edgy: On the weekend, while you’re spending the day at the shops, it’s the perfect time to be edgy. The Caracas handbag features unique metallic decorations and styling that’s sure to dress up any outfit.
• Practical: There’s no reason to forget practicality at the shops. This Evve-Milano handbag has all sorts of zippered pockets and a detachable on-the-shoulder strap to fit all of your needs.
• Black: Sometimes you want a bag that suits every outfit, and that’s when you need a black purse. It’s just like the little black dress—perfect for every occasion.

No matter the event or occasion, there’s an Evve-Milano handbag that’s perfect for you. And at such an affordable price, there’s no reason not to stock up now, so you’re always prepared.

Choosing vegan products is about choosing a lifestyle of compassion. It’s about making good choices for yourself and the environment. It’s about taking a stand against cruelty and the exploitation of animals. 

Veganism isn’t an easy decision. It’s one that you have to make every day of your life when it comes to what you eat, purchase, and use on a daily basis. Those decisions even concern the types of handbags you buy.

Will you be purchasing a leather handbag or a vegan handbag? 

Here are seven reasons to choose seven incredible vegan handbags.

1. Animal Life

You might love the look of a leather handbag, but when you choose leather, you’re choosing a product that has been made using animal skin. 

This requires the death of an animal to give you a handbag.

And that’s not the only animal by-product that you’ll have to deal with if you don’t purchase a vegan handbag. There are also many extracts that go into leather including things like beeswax or uric acid extracted from cows. 

On the other hand, our Caracas Shoulder Bag is completely vegan. This means that no animals were killed or harmed in its design. You can feel great about saving lives. 

2. Environmental Health 

The leather industry is incredibly toxic to the environment.

It takes an enormous amount of chemicals to make leather wearable, long-lasting, and beautiful. That’s why the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists tanneries as one of the top polluting industries in need of an overhaul. 

By choosing our Detroit Tote, you’re choosing a vegan handbag that doesn’t negatively impact the environment.

Chemicals such as formaldehyde, tar, and cyanide are not needed to create gorgeous and supple vegan leather. This means you can use our bag every day with a clear conscience knowing that you’re helping the environment.

 

3. Cruelty-Free

When you choose vegan, you’re not just choosing to save an animal’s life, you’re also choosing to respect animals in every way. This means causing no harm. Vegan products don’t just avoid killing animals; they’re also never tested on animals. This means that they’re 100% cruelty-free. 

When you purchase our Quito Satchel, you don’t have to worry that mice, cows, bees, or insects were harmed in the making of the vegan handbag. In fact, you can relax knowing that your gorgeous accessory was made with love and care in mind for creatures big and small.

 

4. Your Health

Have you ever considered the fact that when you purchase a leather bag, you’re purchasing an item that places dead skin next to your body whenever you use it?

It’s a disturbing thought.

There’s no such thing as humane leather or leather made without chemicals. This means you’re wearing a toxic product against your skin every day.

Vegan handbags like our Vilnius Crossbody can add mystique and intrigue to your look without adding those same concerns to what it’s doing to your skin. Vegan leather isn’t a by-product of a dead animal. It’s a synthetic material that offers all the same beauty of traditional leather without the additional costs for your health.

 

5. Affordability

Too often people think that vegan handbags must be crazy expensive. Don’t you have to pay to use a process that is cruelty and chemical free? But that’s not the case at all. Many vegan products are far more inexpensive than their counterparts. 

Not only is our Brisbane Shoulder Bag made of vegan leather and an absolutely stunning accessory to any outfit; it’s not going to break your bank. Since we don’t have to worry about the entire tannery process, we can focus on the quality of our materials, so you get more “bang for your buck.”

 

6. Packaging

You might not realize it, but when you choose a vegan handbag, you’re not just choosing a product that has a low negative impact; you’re choosing packaging with the same goal. Most vegan brands choose their packaging carefully, using recycled materials to ensure that every part of the process from purchase through shipping is environmentally friendly.

At Evve Milano, our vegan handbags are packed and shipped in beautiful environmentally conscious containers. When you order our Washington Pouches, not only will you receive a lovely on-the-go essential, you’ll have it delivered to your front door in packaging that cares about its impact on the world.

 

 7. Variety 

You’ll be amazed at the variety you can find when you choose to purchase vegan handbags. From our Degas Crossbody to our Hemingway Shoulder Bag, vegan leather makes any design possible. We know you’ll love the look, feel, and endless possibilities that you’ll find when you go vegan.
