Ree Projects is an Amsterdam-based luxury brand founded by designer Desiree Kleinen, that is quietly synonymous with its distinctive yet understated line of luxury bags. Created with the vision to empower women through thoughtful design, Ree Projects as a WOC-owned business aims to inspire and foster much-needed change within the fashion industry. Honing her skills for twenty years at several leading luxury houses, Kleinen launched her eponymous label in 2016. Her instinctive approach to creation is influenced by the world around her; she designs each bag with functional elegance at its core for a collection uniquely defined by sculptural elements such as the aesthetic and folded gusset trademark, as well as organic movement.
