“I started my company for a couple of reasons,” says designer Tyler Ellis, whose eponymous line of handbags has been carried on the red carpet by megastars like Oprah Winfrey and Reese Witherspoon. “First, I love accessories. Second, I travel a ton, and I would see women all over the world wearing the same luxury bags, and it got boring,” she explains. “I wanted to create a new luxury brand that was unique, but still maintained a very high quality and standard.” That uniqueness can be seen in her cult-favorite Kelly Box crossbody (from $1,760); Perry clutch (from $2,090), which was named after her late father, designer Tyler Ellis; Lee pouchet (from $1,250); and more. “I create pieces that are functional luxury,” she says. “I want my clients to be comfortable when they carry my bags, and I think that mindset has attributed to my success.”
