Sometimes fast fashion can be so overpowering that the independent labels are fast forgotten, but here at Mama’s A Rolling Stone, we have a feeling New York-based accessories label Jo Handbags will linger in your memory. Founded and designed by three friends, Dee, Delia, and Wendi, Jo Handbags has a quirky-cool vibe—think raw leather, burlap panels, waxed canvas pieces, silver and brass hardware, and hammered wire embellishments. In other words, tough pieces with a classic vibe. Plus, every piece is made locally in New York. You can learn more about Jo Handbags at JoHandbags.com. Prices start at around $88.
