Rachel Nasvik
Rachel Nasvik didn’t set out to reinvent the modern handbag but the 30-something designer longed for a collection of totes that embody history-in-the-making without requiring the imprimatur of the label du jour. Drawing inspiration from decades’ past, Nasvik’s bags have a kind of hand-me-down quality where craftsmanship—chic and sturdy brass hardware, supple leathers, and classic-yet-modern shapes—is key, but the overall effect is decidedly fresh. Although her styles evolve from season to season, devout fans remain loyal to touchstones like the Patricia satchel and the Bianca hobo, both now instant classics. Nasvik has recently expanded her collection to include an equestrian-style messenger bag and a roomy, ruby weekend tote. But her typical tones—black, moody burgundy, and chestnut brown—are a powerful reminder that she has never been seduced by trends.
