Carrol Boyes: Sculpting a New Era of Modern Elegance

The Carrol Boyes Luxury Leather Handbag Collection signals a graceful evolution — a dialogue between heritage and modern design. Reinterpreted by Caro Boyes, niece of the late Carrol Boyes, this collection brings the brand’s sculptural legacy into the realm of contemporary luxury. It is a study in craftsmanship and creativity — where fine art meets function, and heritage finds new form.

Caro’s debut leather range revisits the essence of her aunt’s design language: tactile, soulful, and shaped by the human form. Each piece is meticulously crafted from supple full-grain leather, its contours accentuated by signature metallic hardware that echoes Carrol’s sculptural artistry. The result is a collection that feels both familiar and refreshingly modern — an ode to legacy, with a distinctly current sensibility.

A curated selection of styles — from the sophisticated City Bag and refined Chain Purse to the compact Phone Pouchand sleek Trifold Wallet — captures the spirit of versatility without compromising elegance. Each design balances sculptural detailing with impeccable materials and thoughtful utility, conceived for those who see beauty not just as an aesthetic, but as a way of living.

At the heart of the collection lies its distinctive hardware — three of Carrol’s most iconic designs: Cradle, Toe Touch, and Diver.

• Cradle curves with quiet strength, a tribute to nurturing grace.

• Toe Touch embodies equilibrium — that moment of perfect poise and control.

• Diver celebrates fearless movement, rendered in bold lines and tactile precision.

Together, they form a visual language that bridges Carrol’s world of sculpture with Caro’s modern sensibility — expressive, grounded, and deeply human.

Available in Classic Black and Brown/Mocha Mousse, the palette honours timeless sophistication, while select pieces incorporate RFID-blocking technology for seamless modern living. Designed for both women and men, these handbags speak to a global audience attuned to authenticity, artistry, and quiet luxury.

For Caro Boyes, this collection is deeply personal — a continuation of a creative conversation that began decades ago in her aunt’s studio. “This range is about connecting past and present,” she shares. “It’s about creating something that feels enduring — pieces that tell a story through touch, form, and detail.”

A New Generation of Design Vision

With an Honours Degree in Fine Art from Stellenbosch University and a Master’s in Luxury Business from the Sotheby’s Institute of Art, London, Caro brings both artistry and acumen to her role as Creative Director at Carrol Boyes. Since joining the brand in 2023, she has infused it with a renewed focus on material innovation, design storytelling, and modern luxury.

This launch marks a new chapter for Carrol Boyes — one that honours its South African roots while looking forward with a global, contemporary eye. Under Caro’s vision, the brand continues to sculpt its legacy, one elegant curve at a time.

The Caro Boyes Handbag Collection is available at carrolboyes.com and in selected Carrol Boyes retail stores nationwide.
