Carry the One

A + N Handbags

Remember algebra?

y = mx + b

a2 + b2 = c2

A + N = awesome bag

What? Suddenly you’re just as confused as you were in high school.

But the purses from A + N make perfect sense. Made with weather-resistant nylon, pockets galore, fun colors, and neat-o trimmings, they’re remarkably practical and stylish. Most designs are two-toned, with a solid-color body and contrasting leather handles and pockets. Consider the Ava style an alternative to that pathetic excuse for a gym bag. The Christie Zip-Top tote, available in red, hunter, tan, and other hues, has leather handles long enough to wear over the shoulder, making it the sort of bag you’ll find yourself carrying every day.

Meaning A + N may be the first equation you’ll actually use in real life.
