At 555 Essential, we don’t just make handbags — we craft wearable art. Each piece is a bold expression of luxury, designed with transparent materials, unexpected color pairings, and functional elegance.

​

Founded by Antinique Martin, a creative force from East St. Louis, our brand redefines what it means to carry something with purpose. Whether you're stepping into a boardroom, a photoshoot, or brunch with your girls, 555 Essential is made to turn heads and tell stories.

​

We are proudly Black-owned, rooted in authenticity, and inspired by those who lead with style and intention.
