Helena+Troy

Accessories – New York - NYC

Fashion Institute of Technology graduate, Helena Chraime, is a young handbag designer from New York who launched her new line, Helena+TROY’s, first collection in the summer of 2011. After her experiences at Judith Leiber and other design houses around New York, she gained the knowledge and expertise to start her own entrepreneurial business of high-end handbags. Her imagination stems from the inspirations of the goddess Helen of Troy, and the essence of her character being the juxtoposition of beauty and strength. These influences motivated the creation of this new line of handbags designed for the fearless contemporary woman. Her designs have already received great press from well known bloggers, and fashion writers such as Leandra Medine of The Manrepeller, Nicole Cohen of Sketch42Blog, and Lauren Shane of Elshane praising her innovative and new design and aesthetic. Helena Chraime’s designs have also been featured in articles in Vogue Japan, Adore Magazine, and on Fashionotes.com.
