Compact, sculptural bags designed for a digital fashion audience.

01 / The house
The story behind the name.
The silhouette
Small changes, strong identity
Ruched handles, compact proportions and curved bodies make the bags easy to recognise. The Gabbi illustrates that approach through its gathered shape.
The materials
Read the specification
The brand describes its materials as vegan. That term addresses animal-derived content; the composition and care requirements of an individual bag still matter.
02 / The designers
The people who shaped the house.
Selected creative chapters; dates distinguish appointments from runway debuts.
Contemporary accessories
The JW PEI design studio
Develops sculptural shapes and material variations around a focused handbag collection.
