Brand to Try: Spartina 449

About the Brand

Spartina 449’s story began in 2009 with founder Kay Stanley and her love for the coastal beauty of Daufuskie Island, SC. Kay was inspired by her home, which is a small island not far from Hilton Head, and she started crafting a line of handbags. You can read more about their story here.

Almost 15 years later, their brand has evolved into so much more than a collection of handbags! They sell sooo many cute things, and I’m sharing some of my favorite Spartina 449 items below.

What Caught My Eye from Spartina 449

My first encounter with Spartina 449 was a Christmas present from my sister-in-law. She bought me an iPad cover, and I loved it. A few years later, she bought me the Paris Square Scarf, which I keep tied on my handbag. Whenever I try on clothing in a store, I’ll use the scarf to keep me from getting makeup on the clothing as I pull it over my head.

I’ve been a fan ever since, and when I saw the Palm Tree Tote, I decided to place an order. I’ve been wearing a lot of olive(ish) colors lately, and I love the palm tree design and the gorgeous tassels. Now I need to order a pretty coral top to wear with it.

Purses and Handbags

Spartina 449’s “Greetings From” line allows you to carry a piece of your favorite locations with you wherever you go. Each item captures the unique charm and character of these places through vibrant colors and thoughtful details on various items like totes, beach towels, wallets, etc. I thought they only featured coastal destinations until I looked on their website and found a few non-beachy places like Kentucky and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Gurls, how cute is this pineapple tote?! From the wicker handle to the beautiful embroidered details, I’m obsessed. It has a removable and adjustable leather strap so you can carry it as a shoulder bag or crossbody, or you can just use it as a top-handle handbag. This is a smaller, similar tote to the one I’m carrying above.

Here’s another adorable bag from Spartina 449. This one has a sweet little coral print on it with a fun little tassle. I love the fun colors, but I feel like it still has a neutral vibe since it has a white background and a pale trim color which means you can wear it with all kinds of outfits!

Jewelry

Moving onto jewelry, Spartina 449 has a great selection of pieces! Seriously, gurls… there are hundreds and hundreds of different pieces available to choose from! The large majority of their pieces are gold, like this necklace, but they do have some silver options as well.

The Flower Earrings remind me of the Layne Statement Earrings I’ve been wearing a lot lately. They aren’t quite as durable, but they are a lot more affordable. Plus, they still give off the same vibe.

Hoops are my favorite kind of earrings! These lightweight hoop earrings add a subtle pop of color, and they’re pretty affordable at under $50. If you don’t love hoops, check out these stud earrings instead.

Spartina 449 carries a lot of these “stretch” bracelets, which are perfect for layering and stacking to create a custom combination. This one is a gorgeous sea foam color, and it would look stunning paired with the matching necklace.

Clothing

Their clothing is a little pricier than some other brands we share here, but not unreasonable for quality clothing. I would probably compare them to Chico’s or Lilly Pulitzer’s pricing. They have a lot of great dress options, like this sleeveless midi dress.

If you’ve been a reader of my blog for very long, you know I love wearing denim jackets over sundresses and blouses, even in the summer! I thought this was a fun take on a denim jacket for summer with it’s cropped shape, zipper front, and fringe details.

With the arrival of summer, it’s time to refresh your swimsuit and cover-up collection. They have a few different cover-ups available, but I loved this pretty red and pink pullover style one. It has a drawstring that you can cinch to give yourself a flattering shape at the waist, or you can leave it loose and open.

Accessories

If you’re looking for a gift for a friend or family member, the accessories section at Spartina 449 is where you need to go! They have all kinds of gift-able items such as keychains, tumblers, beach blankets, etc.

I feel like most women our age have accumulated an entire collection of beach towels, LOL! I’ve had all kinds of beach towels over the years, but I prefer plush, oversized ones like this Sea Turtle one. They also have beach blankets, which are perfect for a picnic by the water.

I know some of my readers are avid golfers, so I couldn’t not mention their golf items! From beautiful golf bags and club covers to cutesy ball markers, this brand will have you hitting the course in style. They also have gear for my tennis and pickleball loving gurls, as well as some athletic apparel!
