Story & heritage

Brandon Maxwell founded his namesake luxury women’s ready-to-wear label in 2015; Wikipedia notes that the collection is designed in New York City with a focus on craftsmanship and fit.

The official Brandon Maxwell product page presents the Louise Pochette Bag through that same polished American vocabulary: Defined by a sleek, sculptural silhouette, the Louise Pochette is handcrafted in Italy from smooth black nappa leather, a timeless material chosen for its refined finish and lasting appeal. Custom palladium-plated hardware and a discreet magnetic closure refine the design, while interchangeable straps allow it to be styled as a shoulder bag, crossbody, or clutch. Inside, a removable mirror on a chain doubles as a card holder, a discreet detail that enhances its intentional design. Compact yet functional, it holds daily necessities with ease and shifts effortlessly from day to evening.

How to choose & style

Style it as the architectural counterpoint to soft suiting, column dresses, or denim; the clean hardware lets the shape read intentional without overpowering the outfit.
