If you're the type to carry everything but the kitchen sink in your handbag/tote/weekender, these bags are for you. Hardware handbags and accessories, by local designer Lori Naon, feature hardware-grade handles made from materials such as flexible stainless steel, braided vinyl, and hex nuts. They have industrial snaps, grommets and bodies made from nylon canvas (the same fabric as backpacks). These tough materials take a beating and seem to fend off every offense from rain to travel abuse.
