Erica Chan and Tamar Wider launched The 2 Bandits in August 2008. Natives of California and Texas respectively, their mutual experiences in the jewelry industry led the entrepreneurial pair to New York City, a fitting backdrop for their fortuitous meeting and subsequent friendship. Drawing inspiration from each others' personal style and a shared love for music and fashion, they initially set about designing accessories to compliment their own wardrobes in their free time. The innovative idea behind Bandits was spawned during an effort to add life and versatility to any wardrobe, by dressing up your favorite pair of boots (their favorite accessory for their favorite season)! A collection of leather and chain boot harnesses called Riders soon followed in 2009. And this season, they have added colorful and fabulous bag charms to The 2 Bandits line.
Accessorizing is the best way for a woman to express herself and to set herself apart from the rest of the birds.
