About Us

Hammitt approaches the handbag as more than an accessory. Established in Los Angeles in 2008, the brand built its identity around the relationship between expressive design and practical function. Its handbags are created with premium leathers, distinctive hardware and details intended to make them useful in everyday life.

The current collection offers plenty of variety. Compact crossbody bags work for hands-free days, shoulder bags provide an effortless everyday silhouette, while totes and carryalls offer additional room for work and travel. Hammitt also offers clutches, backpacks, travel bags, wallets and other accessories.

Hammitt's visual identity often comes through in the smallest details. Metallic rivets, contrasting zipper colors, polished hardware and rich leather finishes give otherwise classic handbag silhouettes a more recognizable personality. Current materials include leather, suede, calf hair and selected textile constructions.

Versatility is another important part of the collection. Selected multi-way designs can be carried in different configurations, while crossbody bags use adjustable straps to accommodate different styling preferences. Practical interior details such as cell-phone pockets and credit-card slots add functionality without changing the overall aesthetic.

The brand also emphasizes limited production and carefully curated distribution, positioning its handbags around individuality rather than mass-market uniformity. For shoppers looking for a distinctive American leather handbag, Hammitt brings together Los Angeles design, expressive hardware, premium materials and everyday usability.
