When your samples look even better in person✨

After months of designing, waiting, and refreshing tracking every five minutes 😂… I finally got to unbox the first release from my Footnote Collection.

Seeing something go from an idea in my head to a real handbag sitting in front of me is a feeling I don’t think I’ll ever get over.

I’m obsessed with the tweed, the structure, and the gold hardware. Pictures honestly don’t do them justice.

Which one would you carry first?

🌿 Pressed Leaves

🌙 Midnight Ink

August 7 can’t come fast enough. 🤎

PS: Ignore TikTok trying to humble me with that voiceover glitch. 😭😂

7/9 Edited to

... Read moreUnboxing a new handbag collection is always thrilling, especially when it’s something you’ve personally designed and waited months to see in reality. The Footnote Collection, with its exquisite tweed fabric and structured silhouette, exemplifies how thoughtful design and quality materials come together to create a timeless piece. The gold hardware not only adds a touch of luxury but also highlights the craftsmanship behind each handbag. From my own experience with new handbag releases, the moment you hold a sample in your hands is incomparable; photos rarely capture the texture and true color vibrancy you get in person. Tweed, being a woven fabric, offers unique depth and character that flat images just can’t replicate. It also ages beautifully, developing character while maintaining durability. The naming choices like "Pressed Leaves" and "Midnight Ink" evoke strong imagery and complement the handbags' styles and colors perfectly. This kind of thematic coherence can really enhance a collection’s storytelling and appeal to customers who look for pieces with personality and meaning. Waiting for the release date, August 7, must feel like a countdown to sharing your vision with the world, and the excitement is contagious. For those considering investing in a designer handbag, this collection suggests that choosing quality, originality, and craftsmanship brings not only a stunning accessory but also a meaningful journey—from initial idea to the joy of owning a physical piece that truly surpasses expectations.
