Have you met our friend, ABLE?

Whether you've been shopping with PILAR since it first opened, or are just now discovering the shop, we want to introduce you and educate you more on one of our favorite brands: ABLE. 

ABLE has been challenging the fashion industry culture by creating opportunities and work for women since 2008. It's ethical standards set the bar high by employing and empowering women to end poverty in different areas of the world. From it's initial start with scarves in Africa, it has grown into a brand of genuine leather bags, shoes, jewelry, apparel and even home goods. 

We happen to love the hand-made leather bags that come in various styles and sizes, depending on what suits your lifestyle.

Ali is wearing the ABLE Meron Backpack, available in multiple colors. This is a great option for a mom on-the-go who doesn't need a full-size diaper bag. 

The ABLE Abera Commuter Leather Handbag is great for a gal who has a casual day at the office. It also makes a great every-day go to bag.  

We are loving the ABLE Mare Belt Bag dressed up or down! One of my favorite looks is a band tee with leather leggings, the belt bag and white tennies, pictured in this flat-lay below. 

Another adorable way to style this versatile bag is with jeans, a high ankle bootie, and our Brown Plaid Button Front Jacket. 

Whether you're looking for a casual every-day look, or a more conservative style, ABLE has the bag for you. Let us help you find the perfect one, while you feel good about giving back to a company that empowers women, one purchase at a time.
