Developed under the direction of Tremaine Emory, the collection includes bags crafted from 15-ounce cotton canvas and soft-grain leather. The leather styles feature a convertible silhouette with a side-button system that allows the shape to shift between an open tote and a more structured profile. Each design is available in large and small sizes and includes a removable crossbody strap. The collection continues [Denim Tears'](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/denim-tears-summer-2026-act-iii-pt-2) practice of applying the Cotton Wreath across staple products, translating the recognizable embroidery from apparel into accessories. Offered at prices ranging from $390 to $590, the bags position the brand within the premium accessories market while remaining below the price points commonly associated with luxury fashion houses.
