Thread: NEW DESIGNER: Yiliy

When I heard about new designer Yiliy, I was instantly intrigued. The name was catchy and definitely sounded different. Then as soon as I looked at the gallery of handbags the “Le Matin” instantly caught my eye. Black, golden hardware, and classy, which we all know is my favorite kind of handbag. I could totally envision myself using this handbag constantly. It’s simplicity at it’s best. Nothing I love more than a beautiful handbag that’s not too trendy but has the ability to be iconic. Rebecca Minkoff started her career off with the lovely “Morning After Bag” which is now one of the most sought after handbags in the fashion scene. I really believe, the “Le Matin” will be the bag in Yilin Chen’s collection that will be iconic.

Yilin Chen is a designer based in Manhattan but she is no stranger to fashion. Ms. Chen started her career in the art world and was even the chief designer for a New York based handbag line for four years. In 2011, she decided to come out with her own handbag line and I’d say she did a fantastic job. As I stated above, I’m in love with the “Le Matin” and I can’t wait to see what Yilin Chen comes out with next for Yiliy.

Great post marissa! I love hearing about new designer

This looks familiar. Can't put my finger on it.

The bag looks familiar?

Yes, the style looks familiar. I'm sure another designer made one very similar, but I can't think of who now.

When I first saw this bag it reminded me of Foley + Corinna. I wonder if it could be folded over too

It sort of looks like F+C, but that wasn't what I was thinking.
