six-foot-four is a handbag and accessory company founded by Christine and Joanna in the summer of 2004. The six-foot-four line began as a hobby shared by the designers during their time at Bard College. Beginning with a single piece given as a birthday gift to a friend, word soon spread and interest in their handmade bags grew. Located today in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, six-foot-four is where fashion and function reach new heights.

six-foot-four knows that you don’t want a cookie-cutter bag, so production is kept to a minimum. Each piece is cut, pinned, and assembled by hand, ensuring that your six-foot-four bag is truly unique. Personal attention is paid to every detail from the practical (heavy-duty zippers and plenty of pockets) to the playful (each style in the line is named after a boy who embodies the six-foot-four spirit). At first glance, you’ll be struck by each bag’s sturdy exterior – constructed of durable, machine-washable canvas – but remember, six-foot-four loves surprises, and inside you will find colorful cotton linings in whimsical prints. Like that tall boy in a sweater vest and dirty Converse trying to catch your eye on the subway, six-foot-four bags are stylish, charming, and fun.

So hit your growth spurt…but in the meantime, six-foot-four would be glad to get that off the shelf for you.
