Launched in Calgary in 2008, 442 McAdam leather handbags have been gaining steam in the accessory world. The brand has expanded throughout Canada and now attracts a following of fashionistas and Canadian celebrities alike.

Made of 100% genuine cowhide leather, the line includes oversized bags, travel bags, and clutches, with a design that fuses luxury and practicality.

Sarah Shell, the designer behind 442 McAdam, is a Toronto native and has earned her stripes by working in New York with Club Monaco and Gucci North America as a buyer and merchandiser. She has also worked with designers like Catherine Malandrino, Yigal Azrouel, and BCBG on various projects for a number of seasons of New York Fashion Week shows.

The 442 McAdam line is now available in stores in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, and Winnipeg. It is also available online through www.442mcadam.com.
