Studio Yay’s collection of resort-wear handbags was inspired by the designer’s love of the ocean and personal collection of shells and coral specimens, displayed in her library. Available in a rainbow of colors including pink, turquoise, white, apricot, and tortoise, the shimmering acrylic purses instantly put the wearer in a vacation state of mind.

Each purse features two glossy natural nautilus shells accented with resin coral branches in red, orange, blue, or white, which are sourced from Italy. Natural baroque pearls peek out from the inside of the nautilus shells. No two pearls or shells are alike, making these handbags truly one of a kind. They are handmade in Atlanta, Georgia.
