While browsing through our Forum yesterday, it occurred to me that in all my time writing for PurseBlog, I have never written about a Hayden-Harnett bag. Obviously, that needs to be remedied immediately – why have I been overlooking a brand that has such a big following? Silly me!

So I looked through their website, and the Hayden-Harnett Talitha Clutch is easily my favorite of their current handbags.

You know, from time to time I find myself wondering about what my life would be like if I grew up somewhere different, if I studied something different in college or if I had different passions. I am not looking to change anything about my life; I have an awesome life. But I can’t help but think about what it would be like to be a marine biologist, an ER doctor, or maybe even a cowgirl. I guess I started thinking about this again when I saw the Hayden-Harnett Ramone Shoulder Bag. For some reason, this bag reminds me of days back on the family farm. No, we didn’t grow up on a farm, but we would visit every summer, run through the fields, fish in the pond, and watch some of our family members tend to all the animals. Ok, my summer time memories are really neither here nor there; back to the bag.

I like it. The bag certainly has a bit of a rugged feel going, but at the same time, I don’t think anything has been compromised. This handbag certainly still has a feminine feel and looks to be extremely wearable. Brandy, the color of the bag sort of reminds me of the color of a saddle, maybe that is why “cowgirl” came to mind. What I really like is the front flap with d-ring and tie details. The tie adds that little something extra which I think makes this bag all that more interesting. With the flap closed, right behind the tie your eye is drawn to the topstitching and hardware; the piece just all comes together nicely. And of course, I am sure you already know this, but just imagine how much wear you can get out of this bag! Buy through Bluefly for $202.
