our story begins in 1993 with a boxy, black nylon handbag called the sam, we wanted something utilitarian and timeless--a bag that could go with everything from jeans to a cocktail dress. the sam did, and women and fashion editors alike swooned. this year for our 25th anniversary, we brought back the sam in a bevy of colors and sizes you'll want to lovingly hold and gaze at for years to come.
