Tyler Ellis has reimagined the iconic Lee pouchet, crafting an exquisite tribute to Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s enduring elegance and visionary spirit. Fashioned by the masterful artisans of Le Sieci in Tuscany, this creation boasts custom crocodile-stamped crushed velvet and a refined, hardware-free form, embodying the subtle sophistication cherished by both designer and muse. Enveloped in lustrous black diamond satin, each limited-edition piece hides a delicate homage: a single dollar bill, echoing Jackie Kennedy Onassis’ cherished ritual—recalled by Carolyn in a 1999 WWD interview—as a whispered amulet of legacy and grace.
Limited to an exclusive ensemble of 25, this poised clutch is destined to transcend the ages with timeless allure.
