Marian Paquette

A decade ago, she set out to do something different.

Troubled by the environmental impact of textile waste, Marian taught herself the art of handbag making. Frame by frame, fabric by fabric. She spent two years dedicated to the craft, learning to design frames, cut fabric, and construct each piece entirely by hand. What began as a quiet commitment to keeping beautiful textiles out of landfills became something far greater. A collection. A house. A standard that now reaches nearly 300 boutiques across the United States. Her fabrics are sourced worldwide. Every remnant is preserved. Nothing leaves the studio without purpose.

The Craft

Every bag is designed and constructed in Los Angeles. Each piece is finished with intention, from the fabric selection to the final detail. Nothing is wasted. Everything is considered.

The Collection

What started as a small run of evening clutches has grown into multiple lines spanning velvets, patchwork, clutches, travel bags, and statement pieces. Each bag is treated as a fashion accessory in the spirit of fine jewelry. Among her most cherished designs is the Liette, a small evening clutch named after her mother. The Susan Mohair bag is finished with vintage chains sourced from the 1960s and 70s.

Made to Last

Marian designs every piece to withstand the test of time. Each bag rewards proper care. Store with stuffing to preserve its shape and keep it in a dust bag between wears.

Quietly luxurious. Entirely yours.
