On July 25th and 26th, we had the pleasure of welcoming NYC-based artist Courtney Kinnare to at dawn for a two-day pop-up featuring her signature purse hooks.

Bridging utility with elevated craftsmanship, Courtney brought a thoughtful solution to urban life directly from New York to Paris, transforming a functional everyday object into a piece of wearable and ambient design.

The Concept: Necessities for Your Accessories

Inspired by her Filipino heritage, Courtney designs purse hooks that function as literal “jewelry for your table.”

Living in fast-paced cities, bag lovers know the constant struggle of finding a clean, safe spot for their favorite accessories. Courtney’s hooks serve as essential protection for city bags and belongings, saving them from dirty sidewalks, sticky bar tops, or awkwardly slipping off the back of a chair.

Celebrating Connection and Long Dinners

Beyond their practical function, these purse hooks carry a deeper lifestyle narrative. They symbolize:

• Gathering Together: The spirit of shared dinners with friends, spontaneous late nights, and long conversations around the table.

• Peace of Mind: The freedom and ease that comes with knowing your purse has its own dedicated, safe place.

Bringing NYC Craftsmanship to Paris

During the weekend event, guests and our Paris community had the opportunity to meet Courtney, explore her collection in person, and see how seamlessly these sculptural pieces integrate into daily life.

Thank you to everyone who dropped by during the pop-up to support Courtney’s work, and to Courtney Kinnare for bringing her vision, warmth, and art to our space.
