I’m so excited to announce my collaboration with Dear Finelli, a renowned accessible luxury handbag brand based in New York. This limited-edition capsule collection features vegan leather, eco-conscious bags crafted from recycled plastic materials, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the environmental non-profit organization, Eco Pazifico.

When the bag designer Lauren Finelli approached me in March to co-design a bag with her and I found out that we could use vegan leather made out of recycled plastic materials I knew immediately that I wanted to donate a portion of the proceeds to a global environmental foundation. Then the following month I travelled to Colombia South America and fatefully met the founder Rommy Schreiber of Eco Pazifico. I was staying at a beautiful beach resort called Namaste Beach Club in the tiny island of Tierra Bomba off the coast of Cartagena and met Rommy who is the director of operations. The fundamentals of the resort and her foundation are the same – sustainability that has a global impact on our environment. This was the perfect mission to partner up with for our eco-friendly bags!

Eco Pazifico is a non-profit organization focused on protecting coastal ecosystems and promoting environmental education in communities. By donating $10 from each bag sale to Eco Pazifico, we are supporting efforts to preserve our planet for future generations.

Eco Pazifico’s initiatives include beach cleanups, environmental workshops, and the promotion of sustainable practices in local communities. Their work is crucial in the fight against pollution and climate change, making them a perfect partner for this fashion-forward yet eco-conscious collection.

The Dear Finelli x Andrea Serrano Collection embodies the perfect blend of high fashion and sustainability. Each bag in this collection is meticulously designed to reflect my signature style and commitment to eco-friendly practices. By using recycled plastic materials, this collaboration not only offers chic and stylish accessories but also contributes to reducing plastic waste in the environment.

Inspired by my trip to the Colombian coast, the bag comes in 2 eye-catching colors – Golden Sand and Ocean Blue. In the world of fashion, versatility is key. A bag that can transition seamlessly from a day at the office to an evening out is a must-have for any wardrobe. Enter my Dear Finelli Bag, a perfect blend of style, functionality, and elegance.
