Talking about the MERIT x Brandon Maxwell handbag, Aila Morin, CMO at MERIT said: The Signature Bag was created prior to launching MERIT we knew we wanted an objet d'art that you could use as a makeup bag or purse that also insulated your shipment. Collaborating on our original design and iterating with creative partners has been a privilege. Brandon's work has been on our moodboards for many years - his importance in American fashion and his effortless, classic design style is a perfect fit for the MERIT client. We're so proud to partner with him in honor of his 10th anniversary on his iteration of The Signature Bag.

Alongside the handbag, Merit shoppers can buy a limited edition Lip Blush in shade Maxwell (23), a rich cinnamon-brown colour thats perfect for autumn. This marks the first time Merit has worked with a designer on a beauty product.
