I Know What You’ll Hold This Summer

Sabrina Love Bags

You idolized her in Party of Five. Cringed when she played Hepburn. Smirked at the MOWs. Cheered when she slammed the paparazzi.

Think you have mixed feelings about Jennifer Love Hewitt? Imagine what it’s like for Sabrina Love Rodriguez.

After years of hating her middle name, the Seattleite has finally embraced it — by creating Sabrina Love handbags.

The simple, ladylike totes and clutches are made from ultra-soft Italian leather. The classic shapes come in neutrals like red, cream, and black and were more than a little inspired by icons like Grace Kelly and (the real) Audrey Hepburn.

The bow-adorned Paris clutch is the right mix of vintage and debutante; the Marais tote is as relaxed as a boatneck top and capris.

You’ll appreciate their refreshing lack of controversy.

Even if it is your middle name.
