STALVEY Debuts At Christie's In Exclusive Handbag & Accessories New York Online Auction

NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- For the first time, STALVEY is proud to partner with Christie's Auction House in its upcoming New York Handbag and Accessories Online Auction. This proudly marks the collection's auction debut, and represents a unique collaboration for the auction house to work directly with a handbag brand.

A curated selection of exclusive and some one-of-a-kind alligator and lizard styles will be offered next to other extraordinary collectible pieces from Hermès, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and others. The STALVEY selection includes alligator and lizard top handle bags in emerald green, kiwi, cognac, red, natural, black, and lilac; alligator shoulder bags in black and red, and an alligator beauty cases in ivory.

Since its founding in 2014, STALVEY has rapidly become one of the most pre-eminent exotic skin handbag collections in the world. Jason Stalvey, a former neuroscientist, launched the brand after unsuccessfully searching for an alligator duffel for himself. Deciding to create one for himself would prove fateful, as it became the basis for his namesake brand which is known today for combining cutting-edge technology, luxury, functionality, and the spirit of the street.

"It is such an honor to collaborate with Christie's on this Handbag & Accessories Auction. To be featured alongside one of the most storied Auction House's in the world is a wonderful validation for the brand. It has been incredibly rewarding to work with the talented Christie's team and to witness their efforts to inject a sense of modernity and openness to the auction process itself. I view this as a brilliant way to evolve and adapt with the changing shifts in the market," said Stalvey.

Preview of this sale includes full exhibition at Christie's 20 Rockefeller Center Galleries Friday, December 1st – Tuesday, December 5th.

About STALVEY

Jason Stalvey is the designer of STALVEY, an exotic skin luxury accessories collection that combines cutting-edge technology, luxury, functionality, and the spirit of the street.

A native of South Carolina, Stalvey had a background in business and worked in neuroscience at Columbia University prior to starting his brand.

The brand is best known for its classic handbags rendered in lizard, alligator, and ostrich skins, produced in the top ateliers in the U.S. and Italy.

For Fall 2017, STALVEY launched a 24kt gold capsule collection, a newly-developed process that evokes his previous career in biochemistry. This capsule marks the first time ever that a brand has embedded 24kt gold into exotic skins, a process that took over two years to develop. This exclusive technology was developed as a partnership with the world's leading aeronautic laboratory, along with the premiere luxury tannery in France. 

In a short period of time, STALVEY handbags have been seen on the likes of Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid, Naomi Campbell, and Hailey Baldwin. The brand has been featured in W Magazine, ELLE, Harper's Bazaar, Departures, New York Times, Robb Report, and many others.
