1stdibs is partnering with Edie Parker for a selection of exclusive pieces that the vintage and fine arts dealers’ site will begin selling on April 20.
Edie Parker is a brand of vintage-inspired clutches and handbags and was founded in 2010 by designer Brett Heyman, a former public relations executive at Gucci and, in 2014, was a finalist for the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund award. The clutches are inspired by the acrylic bags made in America during the Fifties and Sixties. Her bespoke collection, which first became available in May 2012, is handcrafted in America. In addition to acrylic, fabrications now include 18-karat gold-plated metal, exotic skins, embroidery, leather and velvet.
Pieces made available on the 1stdibs site range from $1,095 to $1,695 for the clutches. Also included are acrylic trays, boxes, placemats and coasters.
