And so, when Annie began Annie Handbags more than a decade ago, she incorporated figures of Greek mythology—the most powerful and influential women in the stories of this ancient culture—into her handbag line. “Each one of those is named after a Greek goddess, and I want to bring out that kind of energy in today’s women,” she says. “When I carry my Nyx clutch, named after the goddess of the night, that means it’s time for me to go out and enjoy life—but when I carry my Athena clutch, it’s time to be serious and get to work. They’re like mood rings to me.” To say that this playful approach to haute couture has gone over well with Annie’s fans would be a severe understatement. You can find Annie Handbags in luxury boutiques and hotels nationwide, and her bags have appeared on the arms and in the hands of celebrities at such events as the Golden Globes, Cannes Film Festival, the VMAs, the Latin Music Awards and more.

We hit if off instantly.”
