Pyer Moss’s Handbag and Women’s Footwear Launch Ushers In a New Chapter For the Brand

Move over, sneakers. Kerby Jean-Raymond has a brand new bag — and the heels to match. The Pyer Moss founder and creative director announced today the launch of a new line of handbags as well as a line of in-house women’s footwear, both a first for the brand. Initial rumblings of the launch came earlier this month, when a Pyer Moss billboard appeared in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, Jean-Raymond’s own neighborhood. The creative director posted a photo of it on his own Instagram account; a cobalt blue sign with an abstract pair of arms holding an asymmetrically-triangular-shaped, top-handle bag, itself with a pair of trompe l’oeil gloved hands grasping the accessory. “Guess where…” Jean-Raymond wrote in his caption. The handbag, which comes in an array of sizes of the off-kilter triangular shape (and with or without those surrealist hands) and retails from $750 to $1,800, joins the first-ever in-house line of women’s designer footwear, first seen last July at Pyer Moss’s debut couture show in New York (previous footwear collaborations have included Brother Vellies). Priced from $800 for the Breaker lace-up sandal to $1,400 for the over-the-knee Ceiling boot, all footwear styles showcase a softly fluted heel and hints of the techno-curved design details
