Collection Overview
Join us in experiencing our Evening Bags with Historical Elegance collection where you will discover the different ways women wore evening bags throughout the eras. Since practicality was not considered important during the 70s and 80s, women wore bags that were small and had flashy materials. After the 2000s, designers focused on blending functionality, style and sustainability, revolutionizing the handbag category. The common thread between these items is that they can be worn on a night out regardless of the wearer’s personality and taste. This collection shows the significance of personal style throughout history.

The Coach Bag in red is a gift from my friend in 2017. It is a standout piece from the limited-edition collection designed in collaboration with Selena Gomez. Crafted from refined calf leather with tonal suede panels on the sides, giving it a luxurious feel and look. This bag is not only stylish but also carries a personal touch from Selena Gomez, making it a unique and meaningful accessory.
