Melissa Morris is the founder of Métier, an innovative luxury handbag brand well-revered for its commitment to combining fashion and function. Before starting her own luxury brand, Morris had worked in merchandising and design for some of the biggest names in luxury, including Helmut Lang, Armani, Belstaff, and LVMH. But in all her years working for brands, she noticed a lack of bags that actually served the wearer. Métier was born from Morris’s vision for accessories that were both elegant and practical. She dreamed of a line that offered customers the perfect bag for any occasion with a seasonless and timeless aesthetic. Despite having never designed a handbag in her life, she used her degree in sculpture and her career in merchandising to engineer the bags of her dreams with her customers in mind. Métier took off after its founding in 2017, garnering a cult following, and the bags have even been spotted in award-winning Hollywood productions like Succession and The White Lotus. It’s also secured major celebrity endorsements, earning praise from stars like Nicole Kidman, who has been seen wearing them both on and off screen. Morris continues to prove her commitment to her customers today as Métier develops new bespoke options for its loyal devotees.
