Part of the less waste/sustainable lifestyle is investing in quality items when you make a purchase. The old adage 'you get what you pay for' is certainly true for most things. It’s better to invest more into one item that will last rather than spend money on several replacements of lesser quality for the same thing.
One of the things I want to talk about on this blog is products that last and companies that I like. Harveys is a company that I have been patronizing for years and have found their products to be of extremely high quality.
I first heard of Harveys about fifteen years ago when I was at work and a coworker had a new purse. I had never seen anything like it. The purse was black and made completely out of seat belts. I asked her about her unusual purse and she told me about Harveys. Back then you could only get a couple styles of bags in a solid color. Today Harveys offers many different styles, colors, patterns, and prints. I personally like to keep things on the simpler side and opt for solid colors and I like the style of the classic Harveys bag.
Over the years I’ve purchased four different handbags and a laptop bag from Harveys. I passed the laptop bag down to my daughter and I donated one of the handbags since I no longer found the color (forest green) appealing. The bag that I donated looked brand new even though I had been using it for well over five years. Seat belts are rather indestructible by design, and the assembly, of these bags, in particular, is top notch. I’m willing to bet you could tie a Harveys bag to your car bumper and drive around town and it would still look pretty good after many miles.
Harveys bags cost a bit more than a bag you get at a retail store but much less than I’ve spent before on Coach bags. I haven’t bought or used a Coach bag in many years because I prefer Harveys. I love Harveys because of its high quality, durability, and uniqueness. A bag made of seat belts makes a statement and is naturally badass.
