Glenda handbags bring old Hollywood glamour to modern fashion, blending vintage inspiration with elevated craftsmanship. Designed in Philadelphia, each piece features rare tapestry, velvet, and vintage textiles sourced from around the world — making every bag uniquely collectible.
Inspired by European fashion houses and the refined street style of London and Paris, Glenda traveled to vintage markets like Portobello Road to study the exceptional workmanship of 1940s–1950s handbags. That influence shows in her elegant silhouettes, rich textures, and timeless patterns.
Glenda’s custom approach and boutique-focused business model have earned her placements in luxury hotels and upscale specialty stores, along with features in major publications such as Vanity Fair, Allure, The New York Times, and US Magazine, as well as segments on NBC’s Today Show and Extra.
These vintage-inspired handbags are designed to be:
✔ Elegant and functional
✔ Textural and eye-catching
✔ Boutique-exclusive — never mass produced
✔ Pieces that spark conversation
For women who appreciate style with a story, a Glenda Gies handbag feels like carrying a little piece of the past into the present.
