Story

Where Upper East Side meets Swedish Grace.

Bolinder Stockholm was born from a lifelong love of beautiful handbags, inspired by founder Ulrika Bolinder’s childhood in New York and her mother, Monica Ekman — an Eileen Ford model with an impeccable sense of style.

Memories of jazz-filled rooms, snowy walks through Central Park and her mother’s exquisite couture handbags shaped a vision where Scandinavian refinement meets Manhattan glamour.



That New York connection lives on in our signature Manhattan Square pattern, a tribute to the iconic street grid laid out in the early 19th century — a little piece of Manhattan woven into our identity.

Crafted in fine nappa leather, with hand-sewn details and signature orange Cordura linings, our handbags bring together timeless design, individuality and thoughtful craftsmanship.

Our very first creation, Grace, was named in honour of the woman who inspired it all.

Some love affairs never go out of style.
