The Bag Icon: Redefining Affordable Luxury Handbags With Purpose and Power

The Bag Icon is a modern luxury handbag brand created for women who want timeless style, exceptional quality, and intentional value — without the inflated price tags of traditional luxury houses. Designed with elegance, functionality, and empowerment at its core, The Bag Icon proves that luxury can be beautiful, accessible, and meaningful.

Founded by attorney, entrepreneur, and creative director Seneca Berniard Connor, the brand was born from a desire to challenge outdated luxury norms and offer women something better: handbags that elevate their style while honoring their priorities.

Our Mission: Affordable Luxury Without Compromise

At The Bag Icon, our mission is simple yet bold — to redefine luxury for modern women. We believe women should not have to choose between looking polished and protecting their financial goals. Our handbags are thoughtfully designed to deliver a high-end aesthetic, premium craftsmanship, and lasting versatility at attainable price points.

We reject the idea that luxury must rely on exclusivity, inflated markups, or intimidation. Instead, we focus on confidence, quality, and value — empowering women to invest in themselves while keeping their coins for the dreams that matter most.

Handbags Designed for Real Life — and Real Style

Each Bag Icon handbag is designed with intention, balancing form and function to meet the needs of modern women. From structured silhouettes to versatile carry options, our handbags are created to transition seamlessly from workdays to weekends, travel days to evenings out.

Our designs are inspired by classic luxury aesthetics but updated for today’s woman — polished, busy, stylish, and self-assured. Every detail is considered, from silhouette and color to practicality and wearability, ensuring our handbags become staples, not trends.

Purpose-Driven Fashion With Impact

The Bag Icon is more than a fashion brand — it is a purpose-driven business rooted in meaning and impact. Inspired by personal loss, the brand honors legacy through action. A portion of proceeds supports dementia awareness and advocacy, reflecting our commitment to giving back and using fashion as a force for good.

As a women-owned and Black-founded brand, The Bag Icon also stands for representation, excellence, and visibility in the luxury accessories space — creating room for more inclusive narratives within fashion.

A New Definition of Modern Luxury

Luxury today is no longer about logos or excess. It’s about intention, integrity, and empowerment. The Bag Icon exists for women who value quality over hype, confidence over validation, and purpose over pretense.

Through every handbag we create, we invite women to step into their own iconic presence — elevated, empowered, and unapologetically themselves.
