Clare Vivier began making bags in response to a need. While working for French television and busy traveling, she noticed a lack of functional yet fashionable laptop cases. She decided to fabricate her own, which quickly parlayed into the creation of her now eponymous handbag line.

Clare’s designs marry classic French glamour with minimalist L.A. cool in a line of handbags and clutches that are utilitarian while still being stylish. With a nod to socially conscious construction, each bag proudly bears the moniker, “Locally Made.” From conception to fabrication, her line has been made exclusively in Los Angeles since 2008.
