TYLER ELLIS We love a stylish collaboration and the latest joint venture to come across our radar is between luxury handbag designer Tyler Ellis and Emirati couturier, Hamda Al Fahim.
Tyler Ellis, the daughter of revered fashion designer Perry Ellis, began her eponymous handbag line in 2011, quickly becoming the most carried designer on Hollywood’s red carpets. Brought to life in a father/son owned and operated atelier in Le Sieci, Italy, Tyler Ellis represents an ardent commitment to couture and quality craftsmanship – a return to true luxury. Tyler’s designs look equally at home on the red carpet as well as in everyday life and are carried by influential women worldwide. As a personal homage to Tyler’s father, Perry Ellis’ handwriting appears as the company logo; and most dear to Tyler, he is a part of everything she creates. She has teamed up with the UAE couturier Hamda Al Fahim to create a limited-edition capsule collection. Hamda’s journey into the world of fashion started at a very young age. She graduated from the College of Art and Science and embarked on her career as an interior designer. But her heart was marching to its own beat. Her sartorial talent expressed itself in her childhood, sketching innovative dress designs and bringing them to life herself at the young age of 12. Over the years, Hamda has evolved into a fashion designer specializing in glamorous evening wear and bridal couture. Their limited-edition ‘Love and Romance’ bespoke clutch capsule collection offers a selection of Tyler’s timeless silhouettes adorned with Hamda’s intricately embellished textiles. The fabrics used for each piece are entirely embroidered by hand at Hamda’s atelier in Abu Dhabi and then sent directly to Tyler’s factory in Italy, where the bags are handcrafted to perfection by highly skilled indigenous artisans. Versatile for all seasons and occasions, the capsule collection features handmade pieces highlighting Tyler’s most popular silhouettes including the signature Lee Pouchet, Perry and Lily Clutches and Meme Pouch, each designed in a variety of rich fabrics and embroidery accents.The Perry in Silver Diamond features a lustrous platinum satin encrusted with radiant crystals, while the Perry in Bee Mine showcases a glistening black satin back, woven with delicate beaded Bumble Bees, adding an extra flutter to any ensemble. The Lily Clutch in Yours Truly personifies Tyler’s lighthearted spirit with a luxurious pink satin decorated with feminine floral embellishments. The collection also highlights Tyler’s much-loved Lee Pouchet in Everlasting Fantasy, a sleek black satin classic embroidered with a kaleidoscope of sparkling sequins. And finally, The Meme in Black Diamond showcases whimsical ebony feathers – the flawless finishing touch to the pouches shimmering crystal frame, perfect for an elegant evening out on the town. 36
