Inspired by MoMA exhibition SAFE: Design Takes on Risk, melding modern luxury with utility, “This is Luxe” is a set of three chic handbags that address a spectrum of human fears and insecurities. On the subject of how luxury brands can intelligently respond to emergencies or catastrophic events.

- Escape is a Trenchcoat/Handbag/Lifevest that alarms users of extreme weather conditions 

- Armor is a Handbag that transforms into a gasmask 

- "Shield is an "art de vivre"  decorative house object that can be used as a safety purse for the most important documents.
