So, Brandon Blackwood broke the internet...

Personally, we loved drag race icon Violet Chachki’s ‘Dalmatian Trunk’ bag paired with her signature snatched waist, and can we talk about the effortlessly cool Ryan Destiny with her Green Lizard Print ‘Kuei’ purse? Affordable and ranging in a multitude of sizes and patterns, this collection has us spoiled for choice.

Whether it be Telfar or Brandon Blackwood, we’re living for the accessibility that Black-owned brands are bringing to fashion in this new era of designer bags.

Remember the
“End Systemic Racism”
totes from last summer?
Yup, he did that—and he’s back again. 

Perfectly aligned with social media savvy consumers, the Brooklyn-based designer took to Instagram to promote his spring collection in a star-studded work of PR genius. The campaign rallied all your faves from influencers and reality superstars to singers and actresses to show off their bags. Each of them brought their own flair as they turned our Instagram feeds into a Brandon Blackwood takeover while posing stylishly with different purses from the new collection.
