Our Founder
Seneca Berniard Connor is the founder of The Bag Icon, a premium affordable luxury handbag and accessories brand built on the belief that elevated design should be transparent, intentional, and accessible.
Before launching The Bag Icon, Seneca spent years working in corporate law, where she developed a deep understanding of how complex systems, pricing structures, and policies are designed — and how often they prioritize opacity over clarity.
That experience shaped her approach to building a consumer brand.
The Bag Icon was created to challenge traditional luxury norms that rely on inflated markups, artificial scarcity, and confusing customer policies. As a founder-led brand, accountability and trust are central to every decision, from product design to customer care.
Seneca believes the future of luxury is transparent — and that modern consumers deserve clear pricing, clearly stated policies, and brands that stand behind their products.
Today, she leads The Bag Icon with a focus on thoughtful product design, long-term value, and honest communication with customers.
