In a celebration of fashion and creativity, the debut of the Mercules x Lilly Sisto handbag collaboration took center stage last night at Elvis, a trendy loft space nestled at 54 Great Jones Street in New York City. The exclusive event attracted an intimate and stylish crowd of editors, influencers, and industry tastemakers who gathered to mark the launch of this limited-edition collection.
Guests sipped spritz cocktails and explored the capsule line, which seamlessly fuses Mercules’ renowned Spanish craftsmanship with Lilly Sisto’s timeless, vintage-meets-modern design sensibilities. The four-piece collection—aptly named The Playa, The Aperitivo, The Besos, and The Mercado—evokes the essence of summer escapism, blending elegant silhouettes with a sense of wanderlust and everyday practicality.
“I wanted to reimagine the types of bags I reach for every summer vacation,” said Sisto during the event. “Pieces that feel luxurious, a little nostalgic, and tell a story of adventure.”
Crafted between the creative hubs of Madrid and New York, the collection is inspired by sun-drenched getaways, feminine charm, and enduring functionality. Each piece reflects both brands’ shared commitment to quality, style, and storytelling.
The launch’s ambiance channeled Mediterranean elegance, perfectly complementing the theme of the collaboration. Among the guests spotted mingling and celebrating were fashion figures and friends including Ashley Avignone, Maggie Rawlins, Christina Grasso, Jamea Lynee, Natalie Simkins, Olivia Duncan, Paloma Meehan, and Jalil Johnson.
“This collaboration with Lilly has been like a summer trip through the Mediterranean,” said Mercedes Gallego, founder of Mercules. “It’s been a joy to bring our heritage and her vision together.”
The successful unveiling of Mercules x Lilly Sisto signals not only the union of two creative forces but also a broader embrace of cross-cultural artistry and elevated design—perfect for the modern, globe-trotting woman.
