About the Top Handles

Structured and poised, our top handle bags are made to be held with intention, from considered daytime moments to evenings that ask for something more. Each piece is brought to life through its own artistry: fine hand embroidery, intricate cutwork, hand-pleated detail or precious stone settings. Refined in silhouette and rich in craft, they are heirlooms in the making.

Every top handle is finished with 24K gold-plated hardware and carries a QR code that connects it to the artisan who made it.
