As part of his 40th anniversary celebration, Michael wanted to turn the spotlight on an up-and-coming brand. He selected ASHYA, a Brooklyn-based label that shares his vision of pared-down luxury. The result: sleek, distinctive bags that combine sophisticated, heritage style with pragmatic details made for modern movement.

“At the core, we both want to create pieces that can keep up with fast-paced lives but still feel special.”

WEAVE SOME MAGIC

ASHYA founders Ashley Cimone and Moya Annece hope to share cultural narratives through their thoughtful designs. This pattern, called Saga Signature, was inspired by the tradition of West African woven textiles, offering a singular perspective on the iconic Michael Kors logo print.

“Our brand came about as an ode to exploration—we look to empower men and women, giving them a sense of freedom through unisex, multifunctional design built on utilitarian principles.”

- MOYA ANNECE
