The challenge

An impressive collection ready to share, and a brand to build from scratch.

Purse Strings is a luxury handbag hire service built on our client's impressive collection of designer handbags.

Our client wanted the complete branding package, starting with a name that was elegant, simple and feminine, and could hold its own next to the designer brands it showcases.

Elegant enough to sit beside the world's biggest designer names.

What we did

We created the name, the brand and every touchpoint of the hire experience.

  1. A name. “Purse Strings”: elegant, simple and feminine.
  2. A luxurious identity. Deep jewel-toned teals paired with gold, and a monogram with personal meaning for our client.
  3. The unwrapping. Custom tissue paper, gold stickers, branded ribbon for the linen dust bags, and a thank-you card with helpful information.
  4. Photography. Art direction and a photoshoot with clean, stylish imagery for the website and social media.
  5. A website for booking and hire. Designed and built so booking and shipping work seamlessly.

The outcome

A premium experience, from browsing to unwrapping.
