Like most good things, Clare Vivier began making bags in response to a need. Noticing a lack of functional and stylish laptop cases, Vivier began to make her own, quickly parlaying into her now eponymous handbag line. Vivier attributes her handbags' sense of chic simplicity and minimal glamour to her strong connection with France and Los Angeles. From conception to fabrication, Clare Vivier handbags and accessories have been made exclusively in Los Angeles since 2008.
