ACCESSORIES DESIGN / BRANDING / PRODUCTION / CREATIVE DIRECTION

Matt Murphy was first recognized for his luxury Handbags and Leathergoods.  Evolving out of Murphy’s thesis of portable architecture, his debut collection of Handbags and Leathergoods sold to Maxfield, Fred Segal, and other luxury retailers in the US, Europe and Japan. The collection featured hand-cast sterling silver and white bronze hardware, and was crafted of fine Italian leather. The bags combined luxury, utility and a distinctive style, along with a unique design process, with the bag designs and detailing informed by Murphy’s drawings, paintings, and sculptures. The logo itself is based on a drawing used to symbolize the past, present, and future.
