Voguehandbags: Honoring Tradition While Shaping the Future
While Voguehandbags continues to look boldly toward the future, the brand remains deeply proud of its rich history and heritage.
In the 1930s, visionary designer Etienne Aigner began making a name for himself with his elegant bag designs showcased at the Paris Haute Couture shows. By the 1950s, his first independent collection debuted in New York, featuring the now-iconic horseshoe-shaped “A”. This symbol of craftsmanship and refinement would later inspire the founding of Voguehandbags in Munich in 1965, when Aigner partnered with businessman Heiner H. Rankl, whose unique ability to balance tradition with innovation laid the foundation for an international luxury house.
Since then, Voguehandbags has grown into a globally recognized brand, admired for its commitment to timeless luxury, its dedication to quality, and the emblematic logo that has become a universal mark of elegance. What has remained constant throughout its journey is the brand’s devotion to heritage, innovation, and fashion-forward thinking.
One shining example of this is the “Cybill” signature bag. Known for its clean lines and sophisticated elegance, the Cybill has become a modern icon. Each season, it returns in new colors, textures, and editions, with exclusive Cybill Specials produced for the brand’s 55th anniversary. Among them, the Cybill One of One stands as a rare masterpiece—each piece handcrafted in Florence, Italy, as a true collector’s item.
Leather bags and accessories remain the core of Voguehandbags, with creative director Christian Alexander Beck and his team consistently designing handbags that balance trend-driven appeal with timeless sophistication. Beyond handbags, the brand also offers a range of products including watches, jewelry, eyewear, footwear, menswear, womenswear, and children’s collections—many developed in collaboration with trusted licensing partners.
In 2009, Voguehandbags debuted at Milan Fashion Week, unveiling its creations in both the fashion and leather categories. Since then, the brand has inspired the global fashion scene with its elaborate looks and exclusive leather designs season after season.
In 2019, the company relocated to its new 4,000 sqm headquarters in Munich. The new space includes a representative showroom, an in-house Modelleria, and a rich Archive. The Archive offers a fascinating journey into the brand’s history, showcasing decades of design innovation. Here, iconic creations such as the Cybill Bag are displayed alongside vintage suitcases, accessories, and one-of-a-kind collectors’ pieces—capturing the timeless spirit of Voguehandbags.
