Elaine Turner is a lifestyle brand defined by nostalgic, ladylike handbags and shoes. A narrative thread runs through each season of accessories. She seeks to transport her customers by carefully designing each collection to create a tangible dream atmosphere around a muse and fantasy destination.

Elaine's design aesthetic was sparked by the Caribbean family vacations she took as a child where she was swept away by the effortless, laidback luxury of island living. "The Caribbean stole my heart. It was the only experience I have ever had where I truly felt like I had escaped reality. I remember being awestruck as I watched my mother on the beach with her oversized hats and sunglasses—she epitomized elegance and beauty to me. She took pride in putting herself together and had fun with accessories and the creativity of fashion. To this day I am still inspired by her sophisticated style."

After designing for an apparel brand in New York, Elaine co-founded her company with her husband Jim in 2000. Her goal was simple: to create attainable, fun fashion accessories that make women smile. "My main inspiration was to convey 'my dreams' through my product. I want my accessories to conjure images of travel, fantasy and escapism. Picture yourself lying on a private beach in the Caribbean, visiting a historic hotel in Europe, walking through a charming Provence garden, or buying artwork along the harbor in St. Tropez."
