Frame Handbags
It all began with a cherished handbag. After years of designing for other brands, Patricia Nash found inspiration in a vintage treasure—a bag tucked away in her mother’s closet.
In 2010, she launched Patricia Nash Designs, bringing her passion for timeless craftsmanship to life. Now, 15 years later, Patricia continues to redefine elegance, blending vintage style with modern sensibility.
Her legendary frame bags are constantly reimagined with fresh, exciting ideas, and her commitment to quality remains unwavering as the company continues to innovate while staying true to its origins.
Patricia designs the contours of her wire frames. These facile wires provide structured forms, stable openings, and unique profiles, giving her frame handbags looks and shapes all their own.
From Princess Grace to J. Lo, we know what style icons have always known—frame bags are forever chic.
Kelmscott Frame
Like all Patricia’s frame bags, the Kelmscott has a distinctive and appealing structure that ensures effortless functionality. Simply twist the kiss-lock closure on each end of the handle, and the bag opens wide—making it easy to stash and find your essentials. Close it, and the shape remains beautifully true, keeping your items secure.
As one of our most beloved and sophisticated frame styles, the Kelmscott is the perfect choice for any occasion. Whether you carry it as a smart statement piece or a trusted everyday companion, it's unforgettable.
