Denim is a style staple in any form whether worn in pants, jackets, skirts or shirts, but apparel is not the only thing done right with denim. Many don’t think of denim as an accessory. In May, ECC posted about jean bangles by Ted Rossi. They were then and still are perfect for casual wear in all seasons, but here is another jean theme to try – HANDBAGS!
Shannon South’s oversize denim bags are perfectly laid back for the fall season. Wear with a bulky sweater and colored cords or be bold and introduce to a denim on denim on denim ensemble. An acid wash makes the totes intriguing and is the final step in achieving that cool-casual-chic style.
Every purse (or pair) is a bit different because they are made from upcycled jeans. The price is right with the Bodegita Bag at $45 and the Bodega Bag at $55! Yet another easy and inexpensive way to join the eco-chic movement!

East Coast Chic (ECC) began as a fashion blog in 2010. I created ECC because the diversity of style on the East Coast is inspirational and endless. ECC allows me to share my favorite fashion thoughts and spots from my headquarters in Washington, DC, as well as other trend setting states along the East Coast and beyond.
