Stephanie Johnson
Got wanderlust? Wander in style.
You may be a UN Ambassador or just spend weekends at your boyfriend’s,
but either way, the Stephanie Johnson collection will speak to the
organizer and style siren you aspire to be. Studied details like zipper
pulls are Stephanie Johnson’s signature adornment made with Turkish
silk knots and colorful grosgrain ribbons. Fabrics reminiscent of
Missoni to Marimekko speak to the classic, traditionalist, hipster or
gypsy. Inside, each bag is lined with contrasting fabric to better see
your precious belongings; some with pink azalea and others with
geometry that’s so much more fun than it was in 6th grade. Some pieces
also have ultra-convenient removable pouches, pull-out mirrors, coin
purses, make-up brush holders, bottles, and for the Virgos in the
crowd, a detachable bag with three separate compartments for lips,
cheeks and eyes. Each is finished in classic, luxurious trims like
suede, faux crocodile, patent leather, grosgrain and velvet with an
occasional nod to whimsy in lime or pink faux lizard. The bags are a
breeze to take care of and most are lined with a plastic overlay that
makes cleaning a cinch. For the outside, we suggest hand washing with
diluted soap and water when necessary.
Traditionally, make up cases and jewelry rolls were considered a necessary, but style-free component to a woman’s personal carry-all. The design spotlight has, until now, been reserved for the purse and shoulder tote. Through Johnson’s eye for great patterns, shapes and her obsessive quest for beautiful functionality, they have now been resurrected to regal status to the happiness of travelers everywhere. You may not get lucky enough to have Johnson pack your suitcase (rumor has it, no one does it better), but you can be the beneficiary of Johnson’s creative solutions born from a life at 30,000 feet.
