Cornelia Guest Launches Handbag Collection

Cornelia Guest has long known how to make a mark, whether it was entertaining Andy Warhol at the age of five, leaving her “Deb of the Decade” status behind and focusing on acting, or proving socialites do indeed have a conscious. As a committed vegan with a stellar style pedigree (her mom is the one and only C.Z. Guest), Cornelia is setting out to turn her love for animals into a fashionable business with a collection of vegan, leather-free handbags. Hitting select Bloomingdale’s shelves this fall, her first collection compromises of 12 silhouettes, including hobos, satchels, messengers, briefcase, cosmetic cases, and, of course, an iPad case. Evening bags will be available in seasonal palettes of black, brown, navy, gray, burgundy, and slate.

With each piece priced under $300, Cornelia’s cruelty-free and chic aesthetic are ideal for socially conscious consumers looking for a stylish yet healthy and intelligent alternative to buying leather and fur accessories. Cornelia looks to Stella McCartney and Diane von Furstenburg, who have paved the way as eco-friendly female designers in hopes of setting her own success as a top-selling cruelty-free brand.

Ms. Guest’s conscious decision to provide environmentally aware products at competitive consumer prices proves that building a lifestyle company based on her beliefs can still provide fashion that is accessible for everyone. Cornelia also maintains a thriving catering business, Cornelia Guest Events, and a vegan cooking line, Cornelia Guest Cookies, and is currently finishing a vegan-cooking book that is being shot by Bruce Weber. “It’s much easier to make healthier choices today…I want consumers to know that there’s a beautiful alternative,” says Cornelia. So now you can feel good about being an animal lover and buying her blush-colored sequin evening bag with an enlarged gemstone clasp.
