ASHYA is a luxury leather goods label co-founded and co-creative directed by Ashley Cimone and Moya Annece, an American and Jamaican design duo who met at the Fashion Institute of Technology. The idea for the brand came in 2015 while the founders were traveling in Southern India, and ASHYA launched in 2017 in Brooklyn, New York.
The label offers an alternative to the traditional handbag. Its multi-functional, gender-neutral designs are built around travel and easy movement, including leather belt bags with gold-plated hardware, crossbody pocketbooks with built-in card holders and passport covers. Pieces are made in Italy and the USA.
ASHYA sells through its online shop and select stockists, serving travelers and anyone who wants a compact, well-made bag that works hands-free.
The founders describe the brand as a bridge between design and travel, with a focus on essentialism: carrying only what you need, in pieces that move easily from day to night and from home to the airport. Alongside leather goods, ASHYA has also offered photography prints drawn from the founders' travels. Customers can reach the team by email for general questions.
