Leather and Jewels: The Perfect Pairing of Elegance and Artistry
Step into the world of Jeannette & Slade Luxury, where every piece tells a story of unparalleled craftsmanship and timeless elegance. Designers Jeannette & Slade have masterfully curated a collection that speaks to those who crave the extraordinary—luxury accessories that are as unique as the individuals who carry them.
In an era where designer handbags often rely on oversized logos, Jeannette & Slade’s creations stand out by focusing on what truly matters: the design itself. Their discreet logo, elegantly hidden inside the bag, allows the beauty, craftsmanship, and originality of each piece to shine. Every handbag is a one-of-a-kind work of art, priced at the high-end of the luxury market for a reason—because true luxury is always worth the investment.
The Mahina 3 Ply Ostrich Blue Feather Handbag and Earrings—a masterpiece of fine Italian leather and natural gemstones—exemplifies this philosophy. With ostrich feathers that are cut, not plucked, this $3,700 clutch is a bold statement of ethical luxury.

The Large Monroe Bag with Freshwater Pearl Grapes and Metal Leaves adorned with Carnelian Stones, priced at $10,000, is a tribute to individuality. It’s far better to be asked, “Who are you carrying?” than to shout it out with a flashy logo. Jeannette & Slade’s designs make the woman, not the other way around—a true hallmark of sophisticated style.

The Lady Elegance Silver Satchel Bag is another jewel in this exquisite collection. Featuring an XLarge Agate Stone, Hematite Stones, and Shell Pearl handles, this $10,000 bag is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and the pursuit of perfection that define Jeannette & Slade.

But there’s more to this brand than just luxury. Jeannette & Slade are deeply committed to social impact, with their collection not only offering something unique but also supporting economic upliftment locally and abroad. Designed in California and crafted in South Africa, the brand prioritizes Slow Fashion and Fair Trade, empowering women by providing them with fair wages and the opportunity to thrive.
Meet the Visionaries Behind the Brand
Jeannette Marie Mead and Jeremy Kahlil Slade, the dynamic duo behind this luxurious collection, have a shared passion for excellence, authenticity, and quality. Jeannette, a former model from Napa Valley, and Slade, a Hawaii native with a background in security for high-end retail, combined their talents to create a brand that’s as much about giving back as it is about luxury.
Each handbag is handmade using the finest Italian leather, genuine gemstones, and exotic prints, all in compliance with California laws. The use of ostrich feathers, restricted to those that are cut, is just one example of their commitment to ethical luxury.

The brand’s connection to South Africa is rooted in their desire to make a positive impact. By working with previously disadvantaged women who sew these beautiful handbags, Jeannette & Slade are not just creating luxury items; they are making a meaningful difference in the lives of the people who help bring their vision to life.
A Bright Future Ahead
The future of Jeannette & Slade is nothing short of glamorous. With plans to expand into leather jackets, shoes, dresses, and even a makeup line, the brand is poised to make a lasting impact on the luxury fashion world.
Their collection is currently available at Kashmir Art Gallery in Los Gatos, California, and Blake Fine Arts in Monterey, California, with aspirations to reach Beverly Hills, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Japan, and Dubai.
Jeannette & Slade have already garnered attention from top media outlets, including Fox, NBC, CBS, CNBC, Channel 77 São Paulo Brazil, and more, solidifying their place in the world of luxury fashion.
