Whiting & Davis

At Whiting & Davis we’ve been joining little metal tiles into shimmering sheets of possibility since 1876. Fashion trends are changing all the time; one thing that has remained constant is the iconic glamour of a Whiting & Davis handbag. Smooth, sleek and silky, our handbags move with grace and fluidity. Delight in the luxurious feel of top quality brass metal mesh. Admire our unique designs as they bring out the best in this remarkable material. We believe beauty goes beyond the surface – it’s why we create each item to stand the test of time and trends. In the 1920's Whiting & Davis’ beautiful, high quality purses were the coveted accessory of flappers, actresses and “well dressed women everywhere.” Through automation and advertising, the company expanded its reach, becoming, and remaining to this day, the world’s leading mesh handbag manufacturer. Today Whiting & Davis remains the recognized leader in metal mesh handbags more than 120 years after its first mesh handbag was produced and continues to attract discerning fans, and celebrities, by regularly introducing new styles with an eye toward both trend and functionality. While that first bag was simple, unpainted ring mesh, Whiting bags now come in a variety of shapes, colors and mesh styles with trims such as snakeskin, studs and Swarovski elements.
