Ellington has been producing high quality leather handbags and accessories in Portland for more than 30 years. They pride themselves in being a small company of nine, who "dream big, changing the world one bag at a time." The designers of Ellington are focused on making handbags, purses and wallets that are in it for the long haul. Durable and well-made, Ellington has a chic designer look that is also causal and everyday friendly. With an eco-friendly leather line, these bags are functional, sustainable, and, best of all, extremely stylish! Ellington aims to be a women's "forever bag", and their creations meet that criteria. Michael Eggleston, third-generation leather artisan and Ellington creative director, carefully selects the leather used in each bag. "The leather talks to you, it has to feel good to touch. It will tell you what it wants to be," he says. "The bag must be made of great material yet simple in design." And classic, simple lines are what we've come to expect from Ellington. Their fall collection features texture and beautiful hardware. The Alex hobo bag features: Grey Italian pebble leather and brushed nickel hardware. Second longer strap to wear crossbody.  One zippered outside pocket on the side of the bag.  Four feet to protect the bottom.  Inside there are 2 pockets, one zippered with keychain attached, and one open pocket with 2 sections.   Retails for $248
