You know the Kelly, as in the Hermès Kelly. And you’re familiar with Margaux, from The Row. Now, allow us to introduce you to Edith.

Edith is the flagship bag from Adam Lippes’s debut made-in-France handbag collection. Already drawing attention at his appointment-only Fifth Avenue salon, she features a trim shoulder strap, an hourglass shape, a smooth, logo-free calfskin exterior, and an 18-karat gold-plated clasp.

This first venture into handbags has been a long time coming—the project began 18 months ago—driven by a deep focus on quality. “It’s what we aim for with our clothing as well,” Lippes explains. “We source from the best mills and the best yarn suppliers. We’re not following a typical merchandising plan; we’re simply trying to create beauty in everything we do.”

Connoisseurs with closets full of designer bags will appreciate the collection’s meticulous details. “All the hardware was custom-developed for us,” says Lippes, including the latches on the box calf Latch bag, which produce a deeply satisfying click. “That click,” he laughs, “took about 12 rounds of adjustments.” The same care extends to the interiors, lined in nappa or suede and luxuriously finished to keep the bags delightfully lightweight.

The collection is rounded out by a soft pebble leather style with double zips (available in two sizes), named Vacances for its casual vibe, and a mini pochette with a chain strap. For now, these bags will only be available in his stores in New York, Palm Beach, and Houston. “I wanted to keep the offering elevated,” he notes, “and it’s also a new project for us—a test.”

A second collection is already in development, but don’t expect an endless array of styles. Lippes kept his late mother, an interior designer, in mind while creating the line. “I remember growing up, she didn’t own a thousand bags. If something was practical, she kept it forever.” She would have approved of Edith.

Shop the collection at Adam Lippes stores in New York, Palm Beach, and Houston.
