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

When I was asked, it was definitely a no brainer. I’ve always loved DeMellier because of the high quality pieces but also because of their values and DNA. It’s important for me to feel aligned with the brands that I choose to work with and I think this has been such a successful collaboration. I feel very proud of what we have created together!

Why did you choose the Vancouver bag as your limited edition Icon?

What I love about the Vancouver bag is the classic look and feel. It was very important to me to create something chic and timeless that will be part of my wardrobe for many years to come.

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

I have enjoyed every step of the process, from picking the leather and colour, working together with the team and seeing the first sample come to life. It’s all been so much fun!

How did you feel when you saw your Vancouver x Felicia Akerstrom for the first time

During the process I was a little bit indecisive on the colour, it was between black and olive, I was unsure about the olive potentially not matching with everything in my wardrobe. However, when I first saw the bag I felt so happy with my choice and the result. The bag and colour is so beautiful and it really does go so well with everything that I wear.

What is your favourite way to style your Vancouver bag?

I love to style it with a comfy cashmere knit and trousers but I do also love how versatile the bag is. It works just as well for Friday dinner with friends as it does for my cosy Sunday walk.
