Harvey’s is the bag I grab when I want to add a bit of fun and whimsy to an outfit.  Made in the US out of new seatbelt material, these bags are unique, charming and durable.  Until you feel one, it’s hard to describe how sturdy they are.   Just as a seatbelt in your car is made to stand up to years of wear and abrasion, these bags are made to be worn.  The seatbelt material feels both sturdy and silky at the same time and the silhouettes add a bit more femininity.

How did these fun bags come to be?  The story goes like this…..While refurbishing his 1950′s Buick in Santa Ana, California, Dana Harvey had an idea to make his wife Melanie a handbag with the leftover seatbelt material. Dana and Melanie Harvey began producing the Harveys Seatbelt bags out of their garage. Within ten years, they moved their new company from their garage into a design studio Santa Ana, California.

I am partial to the brilliant red bags in the collection and this ‘Stella Hobo’ is both roomy and chic:

This large tote is amazingly versatile.  I use mine to go to the gym and when we venture out for weekend trips:

I love this bold checkerboard pattern…it feels so retro:

While many of the bags are great basic colors, some silhouettes are offered in vibrant Summer brights:

I love the ruffle detail on this convertible clutch:

The Elvis collection comes in black, white and pink:

There is even a bridal collection:
