Toronto shop notes: M.I.L.C.K. clutch by Ela

With its sleek, sophisticated shapes and signature asymmetric details, Ela Kowalewka’s debut handbag collection, Ela (elabyela.com), is sure to be on every stylista’s lips—not to mention shoulders—this fall. “I wanted to focus on essential must-haves that also offer great functionality,” says this Canadian designer, referring to her M.I.L.C.K. (money, ID, lipstick, cell and keys) envelope clutch (shown).

Kowalewska, who formerly worked in the PR world at Hermès, was inspired by the idea of humble luxury: “Designs that always strive to showcase, rather than upstage, the wearer.”
