Rachel Mansur and Floriana Gavriel met in 2010 through their shared passion for art, design, and fashion. Unable to find luxury handbags that balanced exceptional craftsmanship with modern minimalism at a contemporary price point, they spent two years developing prototypes before launching Mansur Gavriel in 2013. Their debut collection featured just two designs—the Bucket Bag and Classic Tote—both handcrafted in Italy using premium vegetable-tanned leather.
Demand quickly exceeded expectations. Within months, waiting lists formed around the world as fashion editors, celebrities, and retailers embraced the brand's minimalist aesthetic. Instead of rapidly expanding production, the founders deliberately prioritized craftsmanship over volume, helping establish Mansur Gavriel as one of the defining accessory brands of the 2010s. Today, the company continues designing in New York while collaborating with Italian artisans who preserve its commitment to quality and timeless design.
