Judith Leiber

Judith Leiber, born Judith Peto in 1921 in Budapest, Hungary, is a highly acclaimed designer known for her exquisite haute-couture handbags and clutches. From early on, she demonstrated immense talent, becoming the first woman to join the artisans crafting handmade bags in Budapest. As a Jewish individual during World War II, she managed to avoid the horrors of the Holocaust, thanks to her father’s foresight in securing a Swiss Shutzpass, which is now preserved in “The Holocaust Museum in Washington DC”.

After the war, Leiber began honing her craft, meticulously handcrafting purses in her own home before transitioning to a small factory operated by a friend. In 1948, she immigrated to the United States with her husband, Gerson Leiber, an American soldier. Initially, she worked for various design houses, but in 1963, she finally established her eponymous label, “The Leiber Company,” focusing on luxurious leather designs, evening bags, and accessories. Her collections feature sophisticated evening bags, everyday luxuries, and distinctive purses with sharp crystal edges, reflecting her opulent and artistic style. Leiber’s impeccable blend of leather and charming rhinestones has remained at the forefront of the fashion scene for over four decades.

The prestigious “Fine Arts” Museum of Houston and “Los Angeles Museum of Arts” proudly display Leiber’s purses, particularly those worn by First Ladies during presidential inaugurations. Additionally, her creations have garnered a loyal following among numerous royal patrons, with her jewelry and purses regularly gracing the Red Carpet. Although many original designs are still available, her purse collections can also be admired in museums worldwide. For those seeking a deeper understanding of her remarkable journey, the book “The Artful Handbag” provides a rich history of Leiber’s company and can be found in all four Judith Leiber boutiques. These boutiques are conveniently located in New York City, Atlanta, Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, and South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, California.

Furthermore, the entire range of Judith Leiber products can be found and purchased through the official Judith Leiber website, as well as esteemed retailers such as Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bergdorf Goodman stores. Beyond her renowned handbags, Leiber has also ventured into the world of fragrance, offering a diverse collection of sixteen perfumes in our fragrance base. Collaborating with esteemed perfumers such as Ilias Ermenidis, Karine Dubreuil-Sereni, Hugh Spencer, and Jérôme di Marino, Leiber’s fragrances have captured the essence of her brand with their captivating scents. The earliest edition dates back to 2007, while the most recent was released in 2021, showcasing Leiber’s unwavering dedication to excellence and timeless elegance.
