Luxury handbag brand Eittem recently celebrated its launch with a dinner at the gallery and restaurant, Frevo, in New York City's Greenwich Village.

The brand hosted an intimate group of fashion and art industry insiders for an evening of design and conversation to celebrate their official launch. Eittem bags were displayed as sculptural objects throughout the gallery, allowing guests to experience the unique design and craftsmanship during cocktail hour before turning their attention to an artistic culinary experience held in the speakeasy-style restaurant hidden behind the gallery space. 

The distinct nature of the venue - which functions as a gallery and a restaurant - complemented the duality of Eittem’s handbags that serve as both a fashion and art piece. For a personalized touch, guests were gifted a handcrafted miniature version of an Eittem bag made from the brand’s signature walnut, a reminder of American craftsmanship and quality.

Guests included Laura Reilly, Anjali Lewis, Elizabeth Kurpis, Sarah Spellings, Angela Koh, Jennifer Alfano and more.
