Last week, we unveiled the @debraleecollection to the world. Watching friends, colleagues, media and tastemakers see the collection up-close for the first time felt surreal. I’m so grateful to everyone who came out to support this incredible next chapter in my career. 📸 @madisonmcgaw / BFA.com

Ever since college, I dreamed of working in fashion. Life took me on a different path, one I’m deeply grateful for, but that dream never left me. Today, I’m proud to introduce the Debra Lee Collection: a luxury handbag line handcrafted in Italy, designed for the woman who moves through many worlds. My mother taught me to sew. Both of my grandmothers were seamstresses. Craftsmanship has always been part of who I am. These bags are the most personal thing I’ve ever created. Sometimes life takes you in unexpected directions. But it is never too late to take a risk and pursue something that excites you. The collection is available now at debraleecollection.com — link in bio.
