Collection: Handbags

Chaz LaRue was inspired by my late grandmother, Jackie (or Nana to me). She is remembered in our family for many fun adventures from her lifetime, but one of my favorites is when she decided to reupholster a chair using multiple pairs of denim jeans. The local newspaper came and shot this photo of her, my mom and my uncle. I was always inspired by her creativity and the way she never let anything stop her from seeing her ideas through.

Jackie was a collector of beautiful items, particularly purses. To this day, all of the women in our family wear her bags daily and have so much fun being able to say “it was nana’s”. She lives on with all of us in many ways, but her purses are one of the most tangible, which inspired me to design the Jackie Bag in denim.  

We hope to carry on Jackie’s legacy with this bag and that you and your future generations can experience the same inspiration from your loved ones.
