It would be unfair not to mention Loeffler Randall, a contemporary independent that came before them all and is having a major impact on the designer handbag market as we know it.
Jessie Randall started the shoe and accessory label Loeffler Randall in 2005; by the early 2010s, the label had also expanded into making handbags. Loeffler Randall has also produced apparel and outerwear at various points in its history, but today it primarily produces leather goods.
When I first moved to New York City, all of my younger female friends who worked in the fashion industry began spending every weekend at the Loeffler Randall sample sales. In the city, I know a lot of creative women who have made a uniform out of wearing heeled booties, sandals that are fun but also wearable, and functional shoulder bags.
Randall bags and shoes aren't cheap, but their timeless yet modern style is worth it. I've spent my own money on this brand many times, and the items last for years. Loeffler Randall is unique and hard to find because it's privately owned and has chosen moderate growth plans.
The following are a few of our favourite handbags currently available from this brand. On LoefflerRandall.com, you'll find a broader selection of products.
