Founded in 2018 by Marina Raphael, the eponymous handbag house is built on a vision of architectural beauty, sculptural form, and a contemporary interpretation of luxury. Drawing from her sixth-generation Swarovski heritage, Raphael brings a unique dialogue between precision craftsmanship and a modern, forward-facing aesthetic — merging crystal artistry with bold, streamlined design.

Her work reflects a deep appreciation for structure: clean geometric lines, innovative materials, and unexpected contrasts that celebrate both strength and light. Every silhouette is thoughtfully engineered to balance form and function — refined yet expressive, modern yet enduring.

Each handbag is handcrafted by Italian artisans who specialize in traditional leatherwork and intricate embellishment. Their mastery transforms every piece into a study in technique: hand-set crystals, custom plexiglass structures, and meticulously finished leather panels. The result is a collection that honors European craftsmanship while continually pushing into new creative territory.

Committed to innovation, Raphael explores sustainable practices, material experimentation, and new technological applications in embellishment — ensuring that each collection evolves without losing the emotional clarity and precision that define the brand.

At Experience27, the Marina Raphael Edit celebrates handbags as sculptural statements — crafted with intention, shaped by heritage, and designed to capture the quiet power of modern glamour.
