About Emilie
Hi! I'm Emi, the founder of Emilie!
I started Emilie with the belief that timeless style should never feel ordinary. I found myself drawn to classic silhouettes, but always wishing they had a little more personality. That idea became the foundation of the brand: handbags that feel sophisticated and versatile while embracing playful prints and thoughtful details.
Every Emilie handbag is handmade in New York City in small batches using carefully sourced materials, including deadstock fabrics whenever possible. Producing in limited quantities allows me to focus on quality, craftsmanship, and creating pieces that are made to last.
I'm inspired by vintage fashion, everyday moments, and the belief that getting dressed should feel exciting. My goal is to design handbags that become part of your daily life—pieces you reach for effortlessly, whether you're heading to brunch, the office, dinner with friends, or traveling somewhere new.
Thank you for being here and for supporting a small business that started in my tiny New York City apartment with an idea, a sewing machine, and a love for thoughtful design. I hope every Emilie piece brings a little more joy, confidence, and individuality to the women who carry it.
xx, Emi
