Our Story

Moséna New York was created from our love for designer handbags and our commitment to quality, practicality, and craftsmanship. My co-founder, Kyle Guilven, and I, Trisha Dagpin, set out to build a brand that offers classic, well-made leather bags without the exclusivity or high price of traditional luxury. Each piece is designed to carry your essentials with ease while becoming part of your personal journey.

The name Moséna is inspired by two goddesses: Mnemosyne, the Greek Goddess of Memory, and Alunsina, the Filipino Goddess of Creation. Together, they reflect our philosophy — to create meaningful, lasting pieces that naturally fit into your life and the memories you make along the way.

The Mission

At Moséna, we believe life is shaped by the moments you choose to step into. The walks taken without a plan, the trips that linger in memory, the everyday rituals that slowly become part of your story. Our hope is simple: to encourage a life that is lived fully, explored thoughtfully, and remembered fondly.

Whether or not you carry one of our bags, we exist to inspire movement, curiosity, and connection. Through intentional design, quality craftsmanship, and responsible practices, we create timeless pieces meant to travel with you—holding your essentials, and the memories you make along the way.

The Vision

We believe in the power of connection and in the memories that quietly shape a lifetime. Our vision is not a declaration, but an invitation—to step outside, to explore, and to notice the beauty that exists in both the extraordinary and the everyday.

We don’t make grand promises. Only a simple hope: to create something meaningful, shaped by our own stories, and to share it with those who find joy in moments both big and small.

A Letter From The Founder

Growing up, I always noticed my mother’s black leather bag. She carried it everywhere. It was practical, worn in, and constant. It felt like part of her.

Years later, during a period of uncertainty in my own life, I kept thinking about that bag and how the things we carry every day quietly become part of our story.

That thought became Moséna. A brand inspired by the pieces we reach for again and again, not because they stand out, but because they feel right.

I hope Moséna becomes part of your everyday life, wherever it takes you.
