To celebrate the launch of our Icons Collection we spoke to the talented women behind each reimagined Icon. We caught up with Claire to talk about her inspirations and thoughts on the design process for the limited edition Midi New York.

Claire Rose is a fashion influencer and entrepreneur who has lived in London, New York and currently lives in Monaco. She is passionate about nature, rescue dogs and advocating for those with hearing disabilities. The Midi New York was love at first sight for Claire. Her limited edition of the Midi New York combines Italian small grain leather and suede strap detailing in espresso, creating an everyday staple in your wardrobe that is ideal for all scenarios, from work to relaxed days in the city.

" The colour and the combination of leather with the suede detail of my Midi New York is just so chic. "

What made you want to join forces with DeMellier for this collaboration?

As I have been wearing many of the DeMellier bags for years and had such lovely contact with the founder, Mireia - it genuinely felt like the right step to take. I think the designs and the quality are very much on point; timeless but playful.

Why did you choose the Midi New York bag as your limited edition Icon?

When I had lunch with Mireia, I saw her bag and I couldn’t stop looking at it. When she introduced me to this opportunity, I interrupted her and told her I was sold – I wanted to create my own Midi New York. It is such a classic, yet comfortable bag. You can use it to go from work to dinners and you don’t need to make any sacrifices, even my laptop fits in it.

What have you enjoyed most about the designing process with the DeMellier team?

I have had a couple of meetings with the DeMellier team and I always enjoy the creating part; playing around with colours and fabrics.

How did you feel when you saw your Midi New York x Claire Rose for the first time?

I screamed and danced through my home as I was so extremely happy with the result. I think the colour, the combination with leather and the suede detail is just so chic. I facetimed all my friends and everyone loves the bag.

What is your favourite way to style your Midi New York bag?

I think the Espresso colour is a very underrated shade and it just fits with everything; blacks, navy, shades of brown, grey and whites. Imagine any long coats, short jackets, blazers, knits or just a white button down and the bag just elevates all your looks.

Describe the Midi New York x Claire Rose in one word.

Sublime.
