When local TV personality Susie Wall covered the 2014 Grammys red carpet wearing jewellery by Liselott Montesano and a handbag by Lloyd & Wolf’s Larissa Stefani, a creative collaboration was born.

The Susie Box Bag may be an investment, but it’s a classic, sophisticated piece that will stand the test of time.
