Designer Melissa Morris describes herself as “passionate about creating elegant solutions for modern problems.” Since 2017 she has made this ethos her daily mantra, focusing her creative energy to create bags that can carry everything, everywhere and look incredible doing so.
Before turning to high fashion, Melissa studied sculpture and business at Emory—two educational tenets that would ultimately inform her luxury handbag label, Métier. The designs are achieved cross-border—conceived of in Melissa’s London studio and then brought to life by artisanal leather workshops in France and Italy.
Modular and functional, Métier’s handbags embody the ideals of high-taste accessory design—exceptional leather craft, elegant brass details and a trendless longevity. They have all the hallmarks expected from other couture greats, such as Mulberry, Loewe and Hermes, with special focus on daily practicality.
“Uber is my office, as is the airport lounge, as is right here, wherever that happens to be. Bags have to keep up with us all day, then into night, often overnight.”
