The folks at Spartina 449 have certainly been busy. The label has introduced five new collections to celebrate the spring/summer season.
Spartina 449 is proud to be based in beautiful Daufuskie Island in South Carolina, and takes its inspiration from the beauty of its seaside home. Each Spartina 449 bag is carefully crafted from linen and accented with high-quality leather.
The Fuskie Lane line is inspired by the area’s unspoiled sandy beaches. The Port Passage range takes us on a ferry ride to the mainland. The warm tones of the Island Kiss collection recall the area’s rich sunsets over the Atlantic Ocean. Water is the inspiration for the Freeport line, a range featuring deep blues, greens, and purples in its vibrant prints. And finally there is the Sweetgrass range, named after the sparse grasses found on Daufuskie Island’s sand dunes.
Each range features a collection of handbag shapes, from small wallets and clutches to larger day totes and drawstrings.
The brand knows it owes a lot to its local area, and so it contributes a percentage of its profits to the Daufuskie Island Historical Foundation, a non-profit group that looks to preserve and protect the region’s historical and cultural heritage.
Spartina 449 bags are available in a range of North American boutiques and online through the label’s e-store.
