These Go-To Leather Bags Will Make You Look and Feel Good

They say necessity is the mother of invention, and we can’t think of anything more necessary than finding your S.O. the perfect birthday gift (relatively speaking, of course). It was that exact search that led Ian and Brittany Bentley to launch their leather goods brand, Parker Clay (named after their two young sons), in 2014. The pair were living in Ethiopia with their family (more on that in a minute) when Ian fatefully stumbled upon an amazing leather bag for Brittany’s birthday at a local market.

With its high-quality, ethically sourced leather and connection to local artisans and farmers, Ian realized that not only was the bag the perfect gift, but it was also an amazing business plan. The husband-and-wife duo decided to establish their brand that “hand selects the leather to make products by way of traditional craftsmanship, all while creating opportunities for vulnerable women [who could otherwise be sold into human trafficking] to become economically independent.” Indeed, it’s this inherent sense of social responsibility that’s at the heart of all the California couple’s decisions. Brittany and Ian ended up flying to Ethiopia from their home in Santa Barbara for the first time in 2011 to adopt their first daughter after they heard that there were an estimated 163 million orphans worldwide: “Ian and I looked at each other and said, ‘What if that were Parker or Clay? What if we were not able to provide for their needs?’ This became a pivotal moment in our lives that ultimately led us to Ethiopia.”

The family felt a pull back to Ethiopia after that initial visit and finally purchased one-way tickets to Addis Ababa in 2012. It was during that time they adopted their second daughter and launched Parker Clay. They’ve since moved back to Santa Barbara, where they operate a retail showroom, but they return to Ethiopia multiple times a year to reconnect with the community, visit their factories, and explore new opportunities to make an even wider impact. They’re currently in the process of hiring a larger Ethiopian staff and are investing a sizable percentage of their net sales back into their production facility and partners like Ellilta Women at Risk (EWAR), with whom they’re launching a program to train women from EWAR as leather artisans at Parker Clay.

Brit + Co: What was the biggest surprise you found upon landing in Ethiopia for the first time?

Brittany Bentley: We landed in Ethiopia without a home or car and only a few friends — but we loved the adventure. All too often, Ethiopia is in mainstream media for its problems and challenges. It’s been that way since the famine in the ’70s and ’80s, when it was featured on the front page of National Geographic. We were really surprised after our first visits to Ethiopia that it was a land of immense beauty — not just its landscape, but in its people. We were always welcomed and treated like family. It’s certainly a second home to us, and even through the adoption of our two daughters from Ethiopia, it’s given us an even greater connection to the country.

B+C: Do you have a “typical” work day when you’re in California? It must make for some interesting logistics with so much of your business so far away.

BB: We have a wonderful team and recently celebrated the first year anniversary of our shop in our Santa Barbara HQ. We often find that the work starts very early, as Ethiopia is about 10 hours ahead of us in California, and they are ending their day as we are starting ours. We often joke that we have an eight-to-five and then a five-to-eight!

We talk to our team in Ethiopia almost daily to ensure that we stay on top of production and hear about how everyone is doing. Recently, we’ve hired an additional 10 people to our team, and we purchased a van to transport our staff from our workshop to their homes. These types of impact are huge motivators for our team both in the US and Ethiopia.

We often spend our mornings packing up orders from the night before and making sure we respond to every email. Throughout the day, we work with our team on upcoming content, partnerships, and other strategic plans. For me personally, in all this, I’m also coordinating my five children with school drop-offs, doctor’s appointments, and loads of homework, and all that comes with the incredible opportunity of being a working mom. Sometimes, that also means having my two-year-old Kyah at the office — she’s usually coloring in the back of the office, hiding with Red Vines in her hands.

B+C: You’ve mentioned the leather for your bags is ethically sourced. Where does the leather for your bags come from?

BB: Since the days of the pharaohs, Ethiopia has been producing and exporting prized leathers, luxurious spices, and rich coffees. When we first discovered the leather industry in Ethiopia, we were shocked to hear how much of the leather was being shipped to countries like Italy, a place internationally known for its leather.

Ethiopia has a population of over 100 million, and over 90 percent of those people live in rural and agricultural subsistence. We source our leather from traditional tanneries that combine quality craftsmanship with modern environmental innovations. These tanneries source leather as a by-product of the livestock and farming industries, and they recycle all the water used in the tanning process. Our products are dyed with industry standard dyes and, increasingly, with all-natural, organic, vegetable-based dyes.

Our team hand-selects each piece of leather before cutting, assembling, and stitching the products using state of the art German machinery. Our design process is informed by our upbringing in California to create classic products that are built for adventure and styled for the city. Leather develops a distinct patina as it ages, making leather products look better over time and use. We hope to see Parker Clay leather products passed down through generations.

B+C: Okay — here comes a tough one. What’s your favorite Parker Clay bag to use every day?

BB: I switch almost every week, but my regular favorites are the Entoto Zip Tote, Layla Satchel, and Clayton Card Wallet. There are a few new bags we are finalizing development on that are soon to be my new faves! To be honest, it’s like asking me who my favorite child is — they are all my favorite.

B+C: How are your children involved in the business? As a woman, do you make it a priority to teach your daughters business skills?

BB: We love having our kids involved. When living in Ethiopia, they were always with us, and while it might not have always made for the most efficient meetings, we loved it. We make it a priority to teach our teenage daughter Abby about our business — she has an interest in the pop-ups and events we have at our retail shop, so that has been a great way to involve her. Since moving back from Ethiopia, we’ve really enjoyed taking our kids individually on trips back to Ethiopia. In August, we were able to bring Abby, and she was very involved in the design and production process in our Ethiopian factory. When we started Parker Clay, we always said that we wanted to build something our kids are proud to take over. Our kids’ names and fingerprints are all over the business, and that’s important and intentional for us.

B+C: Do you have any advice for entrepreneurs who are looking to incorporate an element of social responsibility into their own businesses?

BB: As consumer demand increases for socially conscious products, brands will respond. It requires consumers who are willing to put their money behind these brands, which may be more expensive than traditional alternatives. We’ve seen many innovative retail approaches to social good, and these efforts are bolstered as the quality of socially conscious products improves and as improved, sustainable impact models are employed. Practically, there are some helpful frameworks that can help you understand, implement, and improve your impact. I’d recommend looking at Models of Impact and IRIS metrics and/or taking the B-Corps assessment for good ideas of where and how to start improving your impact with your business.

I spent all of high school, and most of college, avoiding the color red. With my very minimal understanding of color analysis, I'd absorbed the idea that because of my cool undertones, I needed to stick in the blue-green-purple world. Plus, the fact that my alma mater's colors are blue (and one of our rival's is red) meant I'd never really needed shades of cranberry, auburn, or ruby. But one clothing swap, When Harry Met Sally movie night, and red sweater later, and my approach to fashion totally changed. Because just like our skin has cool and warm undertones, so do clothes! Now I love wearing my H&M turtleneck sweater, especially since I can recreate one of Meg Ryan's most iconic outfits.

And when red cardigans started trending for fall this year? I became laser focused on a single mission: find the perfect red cardigan and find it quick. But of course my thorough, Type A, oldest daughter mentality meant that to find the perfect sweater, I had to scroll through hundreds of options. Red cardigans are like wearing red lipstick — they're an easy, bold addition to any outfit! Here are the best results, per my very thorough research.

  • Red cardigans are an easy, bold way to brighten any outfit.
  • Red cardigans can work for any skin tone because they come in so many tones.
  • Here are an editor's picks — including Old Navy, Target, and J. Crew — after scrolling through hundreds of options.

Old Navy SoSoft Crop Red Cardigan Sweater

Old Navy

These Old Navy cardigans have taken the internet by storm, and for good reason. They come in multiple colors, they're ultra flattering, and they're super soft. The 53 percent cotton x 24 percent recycled polyester is like wrapping yourself up in a blanket, but it's not thick enough that you'll sweat through it. And to top it off, while writing this story, the Old Navy site is telling me 3,839other usersviewed this item today. Grab one while you can!

Target Cozy Knit Button-Front Red Cardigan

Target

Target is always one of my favorite places to hop on a trend while staying within my budget, and its red cardigans are no different. This pick had midweight fabric (made with polyester, acrylic, and spandex) and I'm obsessed with the dimension the ribbed cuffs and tortoiseshell buttons add!

Target Rib Pearl Shrunken Sweater Cardigan

Target

Prefer thinner fabric? This red cardigan has the same classy neckline but features faux pearl buttons that Blair Waldorf would be all over. The cropped hemline is perfect for all your high-rise denim, and considering this sweater comes to just $24, you might as well grab another color or the perfect pair of fall shoes.

Banana Republic Red Ribbed Merino Cardigan

Banana Republic

I love a crew neckline, but if you're more a V-neck fan, Banana Republic has you covered. The split cuffs and rib knit is ultra modern, and the slim fit means it's perfect for layering. But my favorite part is BR's Responsible Wool Standard that makes sure the sheep themselves are protected.

Zara Smooth Knit Crop Cardigan

Zara

I'm obsessed with this Zara single-button cardigan just for how unexpected it is. This is great for days you want extra color and dimension but you don't need the warmth of a sweater. The silhouette and square button are classy, but the asymmetrical look gives it a new age look.

Urban Outfitters Kimchi Blue Rachel Cardigan

Urban Outfitters

If you're looking for a super bright red cardigan, definitely check out this Urban Outfitters piece. If you look closely, you can see it features just a bit of white or gray alongside the red, which makes the whole thing even more eye-catching! Pair with an LBD or my favorite combo: white tee, jeans, and sneakers.

Mango Curly-Knit Red Cardigan With Jewel Buttons

Mango

Speaking of LBDs, if you need a red cardigan to dress up an outfit, this cozy sweater is great for any occasion. Despite the fact the cardigan is all one color, the different designs along the hem, collar, and buttons provide plenty of contrast. I'm a firm believer in "the devil's in the details," and these jewel effect buttons prove it!

J. Crew Featherweight Cashmere Pointelle Shrunken Cardigan Sweater

J. Crew

If you'd describe your style as kitsch, this pointelle sweater will add the perfect dose of creativity to your fall outfits.The design (and four pockets) give it a super cute vintage look, but the cropped hemline and fitted silhouette make it modern enough to go with all the latest trends.

Aritzia Cashmere Relaxed Crew Cardigan

Aritzia

In need of a football game outfit? Something to dress up your grocery store look while staying comfy? This cardigan is what you're looking for. The 100 percent Grade-A cashmere just might make you feel like you're wearing pajamas, and the midweight fabric will keep you warm without leaving you overheated. And once it really gets cold, you can layer it with your favorite turtleneck!

Free People Most Wanted Cardi

Free People

If you're still in desperate need of warm-weather options, this short sleeve piece will give the illusion that you're wearing a cardigan without committing to a thick, fuzzy sweater. The cap sleeves and flayer hem are totally reminding me of all the peplum silhouettes I saw on red carpets this fall. The deep cherry color is also great for anyone who prefers toned-down shades.

French Connection Fluffy Knit Cardigan

Macy's

Every time I see a piece from French Connection, it stops me in my tracks, and this red cardigan is no exception. It's relaxed, it's bold, it's adorable. I love the way the color of the buttons blend into the sweater, while the shiny material still stands out against the fabric. Wear it buttoned with just a bralette or overtop of a bodysuit! It goes good with everything.

It was the TV character arc heard round the world: after learning her boyfriend's dad didn't think she had what it takes to be a journalist, Rory Gilmore 1. Dropped out of Yale. 2. Stole a yacht and stopped talking to her mom. 3. Grew into the kind of journalist who didn't have pitches prepared and didn't ask good questions. But, according to one Reddit theory, Gilmore Girls actually hinted Rory wasn't cut out for the career at the very beginning of the series.

Warner Bros. TV

"Do you guys remember how in S1, at Chilton, Rory was given a very mundane journalistic task about the paving of the parking lot, and she wrote a piece on how everything and everyone becomes obsolete?" one Reddit user asks. "Even though the teacher was praising her, I thought it was the weirdest journalistic angle. It's so... literary and philosophical. Then it dawns on me - well, of course! She isn't a journalist. She is a writer."

As a writer myself, I totally relate, understand, and approve this theory. Journalism uses an objective, straightforward part of your brain, while creative writing requires so much creativity and imagination to breathe life into something other people would find obsolete (like that parking lot piece).

Neil Jacobs/Netflix

A Year in the Life shows us that Rory truly shines in the creative writing world because while her story on waiting in lines leaves something to be desired, she comes alive writing a novelized version of her and Lorelai's life. "She really does appear to have so much fun writing Gilmore Girls," the Reddit user continues.

Despite making many mistakes, leaning into her love of writing isn't actually one of them. She just needed to find the right kind of writing to really shine. Because let me tell you, when you do find that sweet spot, where your soul comes alive and your typing can barely keep up with your brain, you truly feel most like yourself.

Warner Bros. TV

TBH, this is just further confirmation that she deserves to be with Jess Mariano. Who pushed her to be the best version of herself? Who wrote a book and came back just to tell her? (That's right — Jess). It's all very Laurie and Little Women to me!!! And the fact that Rory immediately lets her guard down and spills her guts shows just how comfortable she is with him.

"It's the fact that Rory hasn't seen Jess in four years, but within ten seconds of him sitting down — without him even really ASKING her anything — she is sharing all her deepest fears," Facebook user Victoria TP says. "One conversation, and she's more vulnerable and honest with Jess than she is with any other person in her life."

Netflix

I mean, just look at that final yearning, longing stare!!! I can hear the wedding bells.

If we learned anything from the Great Ticketmaster Fiasco of 2022 (complete with Senators quoting lyrics to each other during the ticket platform's legal hearing?), is that it's way too hard to get concert tickets these days. For popular artists like Taylor Swift, ticket-selling platforms have so many hoops to jump through and qualifications to meet that it's easy to miss a concert, even if you're a mega-fan.

But thanks to these resell sites, Taylor Swift fans around the country (affectionally called "Swifties") are connecting with one another and making sure that tickets are sold for face value instead of an upcharge — even if it's the day of the show. While you brush up on the latest Taylor Swift theories, and read the Emily Henry book that matches the vibe of your favorite Taylor Swift album, check out these social media accounts that can help you score your own tickets to the Eras Tourin 2024.

How much are Eras Tour tickets normally?

While a variety of the resale tickets on larger platforms are in the thousands, there are plenty of fan-to-fan resales for under $1k! But the good news is Rolling Stone reports ticket prices have actually dropped in the last day and you can find some for under $700.

How many dates are left on the Eras tour?

Internet fans rejoice! The one date we've been waiting two years for has finally arrived: Andrew Garfield and Amelia Dimoldenberg's Chicken Shop Date. The two stars first connected in 2022 on the GQ Men of the Year Awards red carpet, which Garfield attended and Dimoldenberg hosted. Fans honed into their chemistry immediately and, just like Dimoldenberg, started begging for the We Live in Time actor to make an appearance on her Chicken Shop Date web series.

And when they ran into each other again on the 2023 Golden Globes carpet? It was rom-com levels of adorable! "We must stop meeting like this," Andrew Garfield joked. And I think Amelia Dimoldenberg — who is the last word in confidence and boldness — clearly made him nervous because it didn't take long for him to start tripping over his words. "I only ever want to see you," he says, then grabs her hand and laughs as he clarifies he wants to see her "in these kinds of situations."

“'I only ever want to see you' would simply make me pass away, she’s so strong," one TikToker said in the comments, while another asks "why did this have ME blushing." Same y'all.

But the plot thickens because during the long-awaited Chicken Shop Date, Andrew Garfield actually tells Amelia Dimoldenberg they could have gone on a real date (you know, without all the lights, camera, action).

“Don't, like, bring out a ring or get down on one knee, I'm not in the mood today," Dimoldenberg jokes at the beginning of the video. "It's been vibey to the point where you've been avoiding me for two years because the vibes were too much for you to handle, so I'm actually surprised you're here."

After playing a game of "Snog, Marry, Avoid" with Tobey Maguire, Tom Holland, and herself (he picked her to avoid), Garfield says, "This is called flirting Amelia. This is actually a first date." Does this prove men never really stop teasing the girls they like?

"I actually believe, maybe, we could've [gone on a real date]," he adds, "without all of this." Um hello?! I need these two to go on a real date ASAP.

The Chicken Shop Date comes after Amelia Dimoldenberg told Drew Barrymore she'd recently kissed someone. "I'm feeling really good about being single at the moment, but that's because I kissed someone recently," she said. When Barrymore presses for more info ("With tongue?"), she adds, "Yeah, with tongue."

Get it girl!
