Aesther Ekme: The Minimalistic and Functional Bags We Love

Clean, minimalistic, and possessing just the right amount of structure to ensure high functionality, Aesther Ekme's range of carryalls is truly captivating. Without any overtly intricate designs, the label exudes simplicity while remaining undeniably fashionable. Drawing inspiration from various corners of the world, these bags have countless stories to tell.

The Power of Minimalism

Immersed in the Danish community, renowned for appreciating functional beauty and finding design in every aspect of life, creative designer Stephanie Park discovered her inclination toward creating bags that elevate an outfit without overpowering it. The sensible path of minimalism became the perfect means to achieve this goal. With each season, a simple change in material and color can completely transform the character of the bag, a testament to the brand and its designer.

Influential Descriptors

Stephanie is truly a globetrotter. From growing up in a Korean household in Brazil,  to pursuing studies in the USA and Denmark, and with the brand headquartered in Copenhagen and Paris, she draws inspiration from Brazilian architecture, Parisian aesthetics, and timeless design. Each piece from the brand caters to the global mindset of today's world.

Aesthetics and Functionality

Every bag embodies the concept of fashionable functionality, deeply ingrained with a desire to explore, and push the boundaries of timeless forms, tailored to meet contemporary demands. The brand's objective is to enhance traditional silhouettes by eschewing commonly used embellishments and hardware, in favour of a minimalist and understated approach to bags and accessories that support the wearer instead of overpowering them.

The Origins

Established in 2016 and based between Copenhagen and Paris, Aesther Ekme truly flourished. Stephanie's profound connection with Danish fashion and art led her to perceive design as a way of thinking.

Drawing from her multicultural upbringing, she found initial inspiration in Brazilian architecture of the 70s and brutalism, and further explored descriptors such as the essence of Paris in her work. The brand considers everyday women as their muses, focusing on women in independent careers who value personal style.

The essence of powerful minimalism encapsulates the core of Aesther Ekme bags, effortlessly blending utilitarianism with high fashion. As Park explains, "We meticulously consider the practical aspects of our designs, weighing factors such as weight, proportion, and comfort, all while infusing every detail with a sense of refined transience."
