Overview

• Merit announced a limited-edition Brandon Maxwell reinterpretation of its Signature Bag plus a co-branded lip product, available starting October 2 exclusively on merit.com.
• Marie Claire and Who What Wear report the set will be a gift with purchase on orders of $125, a detail the company has not listed for individual sale.
• The bag is a black vegan-leather wristlet bucket featuring Maxwell’s metal knot hardware and a magnetic closure, designed as a collectible accessory.
• Coverage differs on the new lip shade Maxwell: Vogue describes a mauvy cinnamon-brown satin, while Marie Claire and Who What Wear describe a cool berry in a soft-matte finish, all in silver packaging.
• The partnership formalizes a seasons-long runway relationship and follows prior designer reimaginings of Merit's Signature Bag, including collaborations with Proenza Schouler, Tove, and Simone Rocha.
