They sell them at Barneys New York. I work at Vogue and we shot a series with them last fall. (I have 2 of them!) They are amazing. Everywhere I bring them people ask me where I got them. She’s a Japanese designer… I think she lives in New York though… I don’t know. But her bags are cool.

Thanks fancy, now you made me jealous. 🙂
The designer is Aya Yoda, born in the USA to Japanese parents, but raised in Tokyo. I love her story. She left college to pursue dance and eventually got accepted to a competitive dance school. She started designing small leather accessories for other dancers and her friends. Eventually she went to New York where she sold her designs to small boutiques in SoHo. She then started working with a designer to use her accessories for runway shows. Two years later she opened her own company.

Chronic Tea recieved this very lovely response from AyAy yesterday:

You can purchase the “baby clutch” style at any Barneys New York store (NYC, Los Angeles, etc) or in a few select boutiques around the country. We may have one or two in stock in our New York Office, so please let me know which color/applique you are interested in.

Thank you for contacting us, and have a lovely day,
