ABOUT US
Liselle Kiss® is an American Fashion House specializing in made-to-order luxury bags, designed by Liselle Kiss.
Founded in 2019, the Trinidadian-American designer draws on her upbringing in both Miami and New York, combining Art Deco & Nouveau influences, merging Miami’s vibrancy with New York’s architecture to create fun, yet structural handbags that are elegant and unmistakably, a Liselle Kiss®.
Liselle Kiss made her designer debut in 2023 with America’s top luxury retailers: Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s, and Shopbop, quickly gaining acclaim for her beautiful, versatile, and fun luxury handbags.
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

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Liselle Kiss Prêt-à-Couture, is a step above ready-to-wear and just beneath haute couture —offering luxury handbag collectors a new designer bag range without the crowd of mass luxury.
Unlike mass luxury, where $3,000–$10,000+ designer bags are on shelves for months, Liselle Kiss offers a private, pre-production commissioning experience. You choose your piece and color in advance with her design team, ensuring a sustainable designer handbag that’s made fresh and shipped directly to you.
While couture houses price their custom bags at $50,000 and beyond, our Pret-à-Couture line is thoughtfully positioned in the mass-luxury range—offering the same value, however, with a private design experience, optional customizations, and without your handbag ever sitting on a retail shelf for months, preserving its original quality and longevity.
DESIGNER-OWNED
At Liselle Kiss® Prêt-À-Couture, we are 100% designer-owned and thank God for the creative freedom to pursue quality without corporate compromise—we never chase trends that lead to waste and overproduction, maintaining our ethos and authenticity.
LOVE IS HERE
“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)
