As Seen In Forbes: The Vestirsi Handbag Era


Forbes has spotlighted VESTIRSI as one of the season's defining handbag stories, recognising founder Monica Upton's brand for a rare balance: exceptional craftsmanship paired with the kind of timeless style typically reserved for luxury price points. Made entirely in Italy by skilled artisans, every VESTIRSI piece reflects Upton's belief that true quality cannot be rushed, only earned through old-world technique fused with a distinctly modern, effortless point of view, a combination Forbes suggests is what sets the brand apart in a category too often defined by markup rather than mastery.

"These are gorgeous handbags, they are beautifully proportioned, soft and matte and each looks like it walked off of a Milan runway."

"The magic of Vestirsi is that fusion of Italian craftsmanship with Australian laid-back ease."



“I love the tension between something very traditional and the Australian ease, our very relaxed way of life,” Monica Upton said. “I always want to respect the craft because it’s this time honored, impeccable thing, to work with families of artisans who specialize in leather. I love paying respect to that work. I think the magic of VESTIRSI is that fusion of Italian craftsmanship with this Australian laid back ease. I love the friction and the fusion between those two elements and I think that’s where our DNA comes from. We love that tension and it’s something that no one can really replicate or copy and we try to infuse that throughout all the designs.”

"I feel this responsibility to create bags that are a combination of being incredibly practical, but also so beautiful that they will finish that outfit."



Most people don’t change bags each day, you might be using a bag for weeks before you switch it up. But you still deserve to have your bag to pull it all together. You deserve a bag that gives your outfit that extra 10%, to polish it and pull it all together. You can reach for your VESTIRSI bag and it will have your back from Monday morning to Sunday night. At every occasion, whether it’s work or weekends or lunch with family or dinner with friends, you’re going to feel pulled together. That’s one thing I can give you, something that you don’t even have to think about. People have bigger things to worry about than handbags, and this role is one love to play and it’s a role VESTIRSI plays very well.”


– Monica, Founder VESTIRSI
