The Star 50 collection is a limited line of handbags, one for each state in the Union. From clutches to totes, from glam to casual, we’ve got you covered.

It All Started with a Road Trip

The inspiration for this collection is a nostalgia for the days when Americans traveled the country by car, stopping to enjoy the sights and novelties along the way. The souvenir-collecting habits of the 1940s and ’50s was born of a euphoric time. GIs glad to be home from the war headed out for adventures on the open road with their new families. With so many gorgeous vistas, glorious national parks, and man-made wonders to explore, happy travelers eagerly gathered mementos to preserve that feeling of discovery. Some of these “treasures” became family keepsakes that are still cherished to this day.

Styles that Declare Your Independence

The handbags in the Star 50 collection have that magnetic appeal as well. These “modern heirlooms” were designed for the adventurous woman who’s willing to “go off road” to express herself. Self-expression through accessories is a time-honored tradition. In the 1930s and ‘40s, a woman’s hat was the signature piece that not only made the outfit complete, but said something about the wearer. Today your handbag is your mark of distinction. So if you’re ready to take a detour from convention, Star 50’s unique designs are for you. And if you find yourself feeling sentimental about a certain state you call home, we won’t blame you if you choose one just to say “This is the place I love.” With a Star 50 handbag collection you can Choose your state of mind™ every day. Enjoy the trip!
