TAMMY & BENJAMIN

In 2013, former Esmod Fashion School student Tammy Lo founded the leather goods label TAMMY & BENJAMIN with her partner Benjamin Pincemaille. Imagined in Paris and made in workshops located in Florence, Italy, and Alicante, Spain, these high-end handbags are fashioned in Italian leathers chosen specifically for their beauty and quality. With graphic, vintage-inspired lines, these "high-leather" creations are at once contemporary and timeless. The wager paid off and success didn't take long to come calling — the label has been making waves for almost ten years now, and is ready to take on the international scene. Among their bestsellers, we love the Jeanne model, available in a vast palette of hues, textures, and patterns, irresistibly retro with her square or baguette silhouettes, and sporting a shiny metallic clasp and chain strap. Minimalist and sophisticated, the Gabrielle is perfect worn over the shoulder with her longer strap, or clutched by the chainlink handle. The Emma bag reminds us of coin-purses from days of yore with her supple lines and aged metallics, with a graphic clasp that provides a modern twist. Compact and sometimes totally miniature, TAMMY & BENJAMIN bags are perfect for bringing you from day to night. These are truly artisanal gems, to start collecting without hesitation.
