THURSDAY NEW YORK
Leather handbag design / Monterrey SS 2022-2024
Since 2022, I have led the design of the Totes & Crossbodies Collections for Thursday Boots, overseeing the development of timeless, functional silhouettes.
I was responsible for proposing and refining shapes that align with the brand’s aesthetic and market positioning. Our handbag initiative began with
a focus on men’s leather bags, crafted exclusively from genuine leather. I managed the entire product development cycle—from initial ideation
and technical pack creation to the production of fully approved samples in nine distinct leather options—ensuring excellence, craftsmanship, and execution.
