On a typical day, my bag goes everywhere with me — from morning coffee runs and classes to quick errands, meetings, and late afternoon hangouts. It’s there for spontaneous plans, like a pop-up at a local market or an evening sports game. On weekends, it easily transitions into road trip mode, holding all the essentials without missing a beat. Basically, it keeps up with my lifestyle — practical, a little unpredictable, and always on the go.

Looking at Hammitt.com, I’d go with the Tom—hands down. Honestly though, all the bags are to die for: the sleek Charles with its crossbody/belt-bag versatility, the compact and chic Kyle, the spacious yet slouchy Tom with its practical charm—they all show personality and refinement. But if I had to pick just one, it’s the Tom. This updated version of Hammitt's favorite hobo is crafted in soft, pebbled leather and features an adjustable strap, a zippered main compartment, and clever exterior crisscross slip pockets—functional flair at its best (Kismetlg, Silver Sage Lifestyle). It’s roomy yet slouchy, effortlessly casual yet polished, making it a statement of style and substance.

Strategic, creative, adaptable.
