RAVEN DAYE (Elysian Park)

Elysian Park designer Raven Daye remembered the freedom of her childhood, where her dad Cory and rock and roll were kings. Watching her dad handcraft his slouchy leather bags for Mick Jagger, Joan Baez, and Grace Slick, Raven was mesmerized. When her dad passed away in ’96, Raven took over his legacy. She moved back into her childhood home in the hills of Elysian Park looking down on Los Angeles. She started to design and name bags after important men in her life, starting with her father Cory. Raven’s bags are a unique and personal representation of her past, love, rock and roll, and living in the hills above Los Angeles. Elysian Park is an extension of Raven. Rejecting trends and fads in favor of its signature vintage look, they have created an incomparable line of handbags made from the highest quality materials and hardware.
