Oscar and Anna has launched its debut handbag line, called Take Me Out. The collection invites us to do just that as it’s made to hold ballet flats, and the high heels we’ll replace them with as the evening wears on.
The label’s creative director and founder Anna Zefferys said she came upon the idea when none of her own handbags held her shoes and looked the part.
“Everything I owned was either too small, too big or too casual,” she explained.
The Take Me Out handbags feature two separate compartments: an upper section for holding essential items like wallets, cosmetics, and gadgets, and a lower space for carrying footwear. If you’re planning on sticking to the same shoes all night you could alternatively use this compartment for a cardigan, a tablet, or even a bottle of wine.
While the Take Me Out line is functional, it doesn’t forget about fashion. The purses are made from high quality Italian leather. There are three styles to chose from: A Shoe In, Clandestine, and Has Been. The A Shoe In is currently available through the Oscar and Anna website, while the other bags can be pre-ordered ahead of their official releases.
While the Oscar and Anna label’s started small, it has big plans for expansion. While the functional footwear purses will always be a staple, the company plans to introduce variations on those styles and limited edition items.
