Elysian

Elysian Park designer Raven Daye remembered the freedom of her childhood, where her dad Cory and rock and roll were kings. Falling asleep in the booth of the Rainbow, or in bed waiting in terror for the Raven to utter the words in her dad's voice, "Nevermore." Cory was a true artist. He made things. One of those things was leather bags. Watching her dad handcraft his slouchy leather bags for Mick Jagger, Joan Baez, and Grace slick, Raven was mesmerized. When her dad passed away in '96, Raven took over his legacy. She moved back into her childhood home in the hills of Elysian Park looking down on Los Angeles. She started to design and name bags after important men in her life, starting with her father Cory. "Nevermore be left holding the bag, but rather make a bag of your own. The bag one carries their things in, is as important as the things themselves." This is what Cory taught her. He would say, "Radiate outward, shine....as style is nothing less than your glow."

She proceeded to name bags after her first love Travis, and her beloved grandpa Cornell. Raven's bags are a unique and personal representation of her past, love, rock and roll, and living in the hills above Los Angeles. Elysian Park is an extension of Raven. Rejecting trends and fads in favor of its signature vintage look, they have created an incomparable line of handbags made from the highest quality materials and hardware. Taking inspiration from the time and bags her father made in the '70's . Elysian Park Handbags understands that there is nothing more important than ones own self and their history. Love, Freedom, and Rock & Roll.
