Harley Davidson Purses

In 1901, a pair of 20-year-olds, William Harley and Arthur Davidson, built the first prototype of a motorized bicycle. Inside the Davidson family garage with the help of Davidson's brothers William and Walter, the motor-powered prototype was built into a fully functional motorcycle. An American legend was born.

The Harley-Davidson Motor Company was founded officially in August of 1903. With humble beginnings on Juneau Avenue in Milwaukee - the location of the company even today - production was raised to 150 motorcycles in 1907. Getting their first big contract with police forces, Harley-Davidson continues to supply police agencies with their world-renowned motorcycles.

In 2003, Harley-Davidson celebrated its 100th anniversary. Much has changed in the design of the bikes, however, the Harley image has stood firm, unchanging over the years. Tough, rebellious and enduringly cool - Harley-Davidson gives attitude like no other.

With motorcycle apparel and fine leather accessories from biking leathers, to leather jackets, boots and wallets, Harley-Davidson has expanded their merchandise to include everything the Harley die-hard could want. And Harley-Davidson has not neglected the ladies in the least. With a full line of fine leather handbags, the modern Harley honey can carry her attitude with her. The Harley-Davidson line of purses is exactly what you'd expect from a company with over a century of hard riding attitude behind them.

Functional, darkly divine and definitely tough, these bags are perfect for the Harley woman and the wannabe biker-woman in you.

Ladies Black Leather Shoulder Bag - This is a simple, straightforward purse with a small embroidered Harley-Davidson bar and shield design. The bar and shield logo come in black, grey and orange. Traditional and tough, this purse is good for cruising the highway or the mall.

Ladies Embroidered Tote Bag - The Harley tote is a basic black tote-style purse. It comes in three sizes: small, hobo and medium. Each size is available with the choice of Harley-Davidson bar and shield in black, grey and traditional.

Ladies Large Wrist Purse - This soft pebbled-leather wrist purse is a little departure from the basic black look of the Harley purse collection. It comes in brown, not only black, sports a silver chain with accompanying Harley charm and leather wrist strap. The Harley logo is embossed on the coin purse.

Red and Black Oval Handbag - Something a little different for the Harley girl, this interesting oval pleather bag would double nicely as a makeup tote. Zipper closure around the circumference and top loop handle make this a cool oval carrier.
