The Story of Liselle Kiss®

“I grew up surrounded by the vibrant colors and warmth of Miami, yet I left it all behind—my home, my loved ones—to pursue a dream: to become a highly sought-after American designer in New York City.

Against all odds, after 10 years, I became the American designer I had always envisioned— making history as the first Black woman to lead in luxury handbag design as a Parsons graduate, from a vision created by faith and a deep love for handbags.

And then, by a twist of fate, I fell in love with a man from Hungary, whose last name was Kiss… and just like that, the name of the brand was born.

Today, the dream of love and hope lives not only in my hands, but in yours. Each piece is an invitation to believe again—to hold love close, pursuit your dreams, and carry them forward.

With Love,

— Liselle Kiss

OUR CREED

“Love is patient.
Love is kind.

It does not envy.
It is not proud.
It does not boast.

Love does not dishonor.
It is not selfish.
It is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.”

— 1 Corinthians 13:4–5 (ICB)
