Originally from Los Angeles, Robin Lee Simmons, owner and designer of the rlee Collection, created her first handbag line in 2001 called boo Studio, titled after the nickname of her driving force...her son, Park. Over the years it has grown into a Multi-Accessory Collection including bags and stunning jewelry. Since the beginning, Robin Lee has hand-dyed each ostrich feather and lovingly handcrafted each bag and bauble in her studios around Charleston, S.C. Her handbags have been featured in several major fashion magazines and coveted by some of your favorite celebrities, including Christina Applegate and Lucy Liu. Through her many years working as a Makeup Artist and Photographer in Los Angeles and Charleston, she has developed a great respect for fashion and an understanding of what women love...to be "adored" and to be "adorned."
Her handbag collection is exquisitely designed using the finest quality satin, Italian leather, eco-friendly hemp, vintage fabrics, as well as stunning, genuine feathers including ostrich, coque & peacock. Each handbag has a hand-beaded handle that is a bit of jewelry all on it’s own consisting of acrylic & glass to gemstones & swarovski. Each item is destined to embellish and make you want to flaunt. Also featured are custom order, special occasion feather handbags that can be dyed to match any color…the perfect gift for any bride, bridesmaid or fashionista!
"As a designer I draw inspiration from my deep appreciation of vintage accessories. Women of bygone eras loved to accessorize and they did it with style, grace and elegance. My passion is to create lines that evoke every bit of that with just a little 'sass' thrown in! I love each item to make a statement, embellish and make you want to flaunt all at the same time. After all, who doesn't enjoy being a girl...playing 'dress-up' will always be my favorite pastime!"
