Summer style idea. Lose the purse and grab a Bandolier.
I have to share one of my new favorite finds for summer. Sometimes, I just hate carrying a purse. OK, I often hate carrying a purse. You’re out shopping. At a concert, out with friends, traveling, dancing. Where do you stash it? Will it get stolen? Who needs a purse to worry about when the summer fun begins.
Well, I’ve found a sophisticated stylish solution to replace my huge purse this summer, the Bandolier.
Bandolier is a chic phone holder that turns your phone into a piece of wearable technology. It looks more like jewelry than a utilitarian phone case with on-trend silver or gold chunky chains. I’d seen these Bandolier phone holders in a few boutiques and have been coveting one before I finally bought my own. So glad that I did just before an outdoor concert.
I got mine in black leather with a silver chain but they come in a goldtone metal and lots of other leather colors and patterns. They are really well made with soft leather and sturdy, not flimsy, chains. Bandolier even makes a silver or gold leather case to rock that 70’s disco vibe!
They are so smartly configured. You don’t have to take it off to snap a photo. And there are places on the back to stash your ID, credit card and some cash.
I wore mine with a casual outfit, but it’s so stylish I’d wear it with a dressier outfit too.
You can even unclip your phone from the strap and throw it into your purse for those times when you do want to simply carry your phone in your purse. (So convenient!)
I got mine at the boutique Marea at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes.
You can also purchase them on the Bandolier website.
Grab one for summer, ditch the huge purse and get going!
