Kempt, the design house and luxury brand focuses on quiet luxury and embraces “slow, enduring fashion.” Kempt's sensibility is not concerned with the latest fad but more importantly, concentrates on the creation and appreciation of timeless style.
Erin Voorhies is Kempt's principal designer and creative director. She embraces a lifelong passion for form and function which has coalesced into a unique collection of exquisitely made handbags and accessories.
Voorhies' goal was not to create luxury merely for luxury's sake - but rather to embody its true essence. Therefore, Kempt's foundation is built on innovative design, extraordinary materials and intricate craftsmanship - which culminate in the experience of owning a Kempt “masterpiece.”
Success to Voorhies is the notion that a Kempt handbag might be shared and treasured by a mother and daughter, a piece that is no longer simply a wardrobe accessory but an artifact rich with history and meaning.
The company's founding philosophy is a fundamental belief in quality, enduring design and a creative use of the best possible materials. Kempt practices the craft of fine leather-work, producing bags in limited quantities to insure that an unparalleled level of attention is paid to all details.
Kempt has “re-imagined” and thus, “redefined,” the classic American handbag. Voorhies takes pride in the creation of investment pieces that appeal to the discriminating eye of today's modern woman who wants a handbag of timeless elegance as well as practical functionality.
Kempt proudly produces its entire collection in the United States in a re-purposed factory in Massachusetts under the careful watch of true leather artisans.
