Many thanks to Aoife Dunican, otherwise known as The Style Bob, for featuring us in the Business Post & Irish Tatler!
In her article ‘Notice trends, but don’t be ruled by them’: Aoife Dunican on how to invest in a new bag, Aoife shares her advice on choosing a handbag that you will love wearing for years to come.
Her advice? Look beyond the logo and consider craftsmanship, design and importantly, what you need your bag to do.
We couldn't agree more!
Function and style
One of the things we love about Aoife's approach is that she encourages readers to think about their own wardrobe and lifestyle when choosing a bag — rather than simply following whatever happens to be trending.
She also makes a great case for adding colour to your handbag collection.
And when it comes to combining colour, function and style, she points readers towards Póchette:
“look to Póchette for a flat crossbody that still holds a lot.”
That’s our Póca 💜
Designed to be worn across the body, over the shoulder or lower on the hip, the Póca is slim and easy to wear without compromising on what you can carry.
There’s room for your phone, keys, wallet, sunglasses, passport and boarding pass, plus all those little things you don't want rattling around the bottom of your bag, which can be kept neatly in the zipped pocket. And with an adjustable strap and two-way zip, it’s designed around how you actually use a handbag.
Buy the craftsmanship, not just the logo
Aoife's advice to buy the craftsmanship, not just the logo particularly resonates with us.
At Póchette, our handbags are designed in Dublin and handcrafted in Portugal by a small women-owned manufacturer. We use Italian leather from a Leather Working Group (LWG) Gold-rated tannery, and every Póchette is designed from the inside out — thinking about how it looks, but also how it works.
Because we think a great handbag should do more than look good.
It should make your life a little easier, too.
Thank you again to Aoife for including Póchette in such a thoughtful piece — and for recognising the combination of colour, craftsmanship and practicality that goes into the Póca.
