Founder Sara Naghedi with the Havana striped tote in Venice
After its buzzy trunk show at goop Sag Harbor last month, we are utterly obsessed with NAGHEDI (naghedinyc.com). Rooted in the tenets of slow fashion, Sara Naghedi founded her brand with the mission to create a modern-day handbag that transcends seasonal trends—while playing nice with the environment. Enter her signature handwoven neoprene tote. Setting a spectacularly high bar for modern-day craftsmanship, each bag is individually handwoven by skilled artisans, who produce only one or two pieces per day, and feature state-of-the-art fabrics that are functional and long-lasting. As for the design? Its latest summer ’24 collection is reminiscent of long, lazy days on the beach, showcasing airy tones, nautical touches and a newly debuted stripe weave. “This collection feels nostalgic, laid-back and a little escapist,” says Naghedi. “It elicits that quintessential summer feeling.” We have no doubt we’ll be toting the bag—available in four sizes from petite to large—around all season long.
