Featured Designer: Foley + Corinna

In 1999 Dana Foley and Anna Corinna opened the doors of their epononymous Foley + Corinna boutique on New York’s Lower East Side.

With a cultivated and iconic style all their own, Anna Corinna and Dana Foley have built a fashion empire with clothing and accessories every “It” girl must have.

Featured Designer: Monica Botkier

As a native New Yorker, Monica Botkier first delved into the fashion industry as a photographer, shooting for several national magazines such as Seventeen, Nylon, Surface and Fitness. Spending her days running through downtown Manhattan and loaded up with all the essential items a fashion photographer must carry, Monica found herself longing for an easier way to organize her life. After searching for such bag, Monica simply decided to create her own that was roomy, yet chic enough to be trotted in front of the industry’s scrutinizing eye. Functional and wearable, stylish and detailed-the Botkier Trigger bag was born.

Featured Designer: Kooba

The Kooba story isn’t so much about Kooba as it is about women. Women who every day search for ways to express their personal style. That’s exactly what the team behind Kooba was doing in 1998 when they found themselves shopping in a sea of sameness that was the luxury market. Armed only with passion, they set about creating a small collection of bags for themselves and their friends. Avid vintage shoppers, the team focused on the things that spoke to them: attention to detail, orginal styles and distinctive textures. Where the individual- not the accessory- made the statement.

Stand apart, love the difference. Kooba
