Let people tell it, bags are only high-end if they’re made by high-brow fashion houses abroad and cost thousands. Not true! Some of the best, most durable, and best-looking accessories are being made by Black creatives. From the dominance of Telfar and Brandon Blackwood to burgeoning brands like Sarep + Rose and Laura Vivian Leather, the following pieces from Black-owned brands are the perfect gift. Made from everything, like denim to leather, these are the bags on our radar that need to be in your cart this season.
Made in Kenya from full-grain leather and cow hair (sustainably sourced, of course), this tote is giving luxury and offering plenty of space and durability.

A hand-dyed beauty, this clutch from Black-woman owned Laura Vivian Leather is, of course, made of buttery leather. Perfect for date night, fun with your friends or to hold essentials for the working gal.
