While in London, the Banks team met with Jenny Lei, founder of Freja, the New York handbag label that has quickly become a favourite among fashion insiders and names like Hailey Bieber and Katie Holmes alike. Since launching the brand in 2020, Jenny has built Freja into one of fashion’s most recognisable contemporary accessories labels, known for its considered silhouettes and loyal following.
We met at Acre, a tucked-away wine bar in Notting Hill, where Jenny stepped behind the bar to make her favourite cocktail (a very, very good martini, by the way). Over afternoon happy hour, we spoke about the last time she truly lost track of time, the rituals of her mornings, and the routines that ground her while building Freja.
