Handbags, personal style, and modern luxury
— explored through intention, longevity, and thoughtful ownership.
Start here
Luxury isn’t about logos — it’s about intention, discernment, and the pieces we choose to live with over time.
My perspective is shaped by being French-American — influenced by European ideas of provenance, restraint and longevity, and an American context of access, choice, and scale.
Ajda NYC exists to slow down the conversation around luxury, focusing on design, longevity, and thoughtful ownership rather than trend cycles or accumulation. This space is for those who want to understand what they invest in — not just collect it.

Behind Ajda NYC
Ajda NYC was created to bring more intention to the way we talk about luxury — shifting the focus from short-lived trends and accumulation to design, longevity, and thoughtful ownership.
I’m French-American, and that duality shapes how I approach this space. I grew up with European ideas of restraint, quality, and living with pieces for a long time, while building my life in New York — a city defined by access, pace, and constant choice.
Ajda NYC sits at the intersection of those two worlds: considered, but lived in. Through essays, video, and visual storytelling, I share perspective for those who want to understand what makes a piece worth keeping — not just owning.

Keep or Let Go?
The bag decision checklist
For those navigating what to keep — and what to let go — I created a short guide to help you think through handbags with clarity, not guilt. It’s about ownership over time: wear, usefulness, emotional value, and when something has run its course.
