The Whitney Bag made its first appearance in April 2015 at the opening of the new Whitney Museum of American Art building in the Meatpacking District of New York. Made from soft luxury leather, the Whitney Bag is characterised by an elegant surface featuring hot preformed ribbing that tapers off to become one unified section. Real “graphic cuts” recall the modular appearance of the façade of the new Whitney Museum. The Whitney Bag is part of the permanent collection of the New York Fashion Institute of Technology museum.

“Aesthetic” and “technical” are the fundamental concepts of this bag, which is directly inspired by the façade and proportion of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York through the purity of its design and the careful selection of materials.
