It Girl, actress and model Olivia Culpo was spotted wearing the new It Bag “Nude Icon” from Scandinavian brand HVRMNNSN in New York yesterday.

Clean lines, Nordic simplicity and hand sewn quality makes it a modern expression of Scandinavian design. It’s also a sustainable fashion statement: The HVRMNNSN tote bag is sewn on a family-run tannery in Sweden using organic quality leather from the local area. The tannery, Tärnsjö Garveri, is a sought after premium supplier with 140 years of experience and has worked for both Louis Vuitton and Hermès.
