DKNY, the ultimate wardrobe for the urban fashionista, and Refinery29, the go–to digital destination
for all things personal style, have partnered for an essential capsule collection of handbags
inspired by the stylish women of each of Refinery29’s local editions: New York, Washington, DC, Miami, Los Angeles, and London.
The collection was a natural evolution of mutual admiration between the two brands and their
passion for inspired–yet–functional design. Each bag was crafted for the specific demands
of living in each diverse urban landscape, where function serves as fashion and sleek lines
are combined with a digital take on geometric prints. Refinery 29 editor–in–chief,
Christene Barberich, and creative director, Piera Gelardi, collaborated with DKNY
on these distinctive designs, which truly embody the breadth, style, and spirit
of the Refinery29 reader. “We’re incredibly excited to debut this collection and to have
had the chance to work so closely with DKNY, drawing inspiration from its legacy,”
says Refinery29 editor, Christene Barberich. “Having the chance to express our site’s aesthetic
and personality through accessories—and two original graphic prints—has been a thrill
and we can’t wait to share it with our many millions of readers.”
While the designs may differ by geography, they’re united by a single detail:
a Refinery29 signature coral red, logo–embossed lining with plenty of compartments for swift,
stylish organization. We now travel the globe to salute the stylish game–changers of these
city streets and their style that has inspired this collection of handbags.
