The first thing that comes to mind when laying eyes on a Tonya Hawkes clutch: There is still plenty of love for the ornate and flamboyant. Inspired at early age by fine leather craftsmanship, Hawkes studied at FIT, before the birth of a storied career in design, taking on executive roles at fashion houses like DKNY and Furla.
And since 2005, the Italy-based Hawkes has worked on her own eponymous label. From snakeskin box clutches studded with Lucite and gunmetal, to calfskin leather adorned with chain straps, her current collection combines the opulent sensibilities of the mid-20th century with today’s technologies, a nostalgic and bold use of geometry mingled with an unapologetic affection for grandeur.
