NEW YORK, June 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xcel Brands, Inc. today announced an exclusive licensing collaboration between handbag specialist Baggallini and internationally renowned model, entrepreneur, and fashion icon Coco Rocha. The partnership will begin with the launch of a limited-edition capsule collection designed by Coco Rocha for the modern woman.
The collaboration combines Baggallini's signature expertise in organization and functionality with Coco's sophisticated style and real world understanding of the demands faced by today's busy women. The collection draws inspiration from Coco's many years of endless travel as a super model and businesswoman. The star of the collaboration is the Super Bagg seamlessly blending elevated style with practical organization.
Baggallini, the brand known for designing thoughtfully organized bags, announces the launch of the Baggallini x Coco Rocha Capsule Collection, a limited-edition collaboration with internationally renowned supermodel, entrepreneur, mother, and mentor Coco Rocha. The collection combines fashion-forward design with Baggallini's signature organizational expertise.
"This partnership continues Xcel Brands' vision of connecting influential talent with a lifestyle brand such as Baggallini to create meaningful products for today's consumer," said Robert W. D'Loren, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Xcel Brands. "Coco Rocha's global influence, entrepreneurial spirit, and authentic understanding of the modern woman's lifestyle made her an exceptional partner for Baggallini. The Super Bagg and the broader capsule collection deliver the perfect balance of style, versatility, and function that today's consumer expects."
At the center of the collection is the debut of the Super Bagg, a bold new oversized silhouette inspired by the multifaceted lives women lead. Drawing from Rocha's years balancing castings, fittings, photoshoots, airports, meetings, and family life, the Super Bagg was designed to accommodate it all — from platform heels and beauty essentials to laptops, water bottles, and the everyday necessities that rarely make it into the spotlight. Thoughtfully organized throughout, the bag features dedicated shoe compartments, a padded laptop sleeve, water bottle holders, and multiple interior pockets, bringing effortless order to even the busiest days.
"For most of my career, I've been constantly on the move," said Coco Rocha. "Traveling between photoshoots, airports, and family life. Along the way, I've learned that being prepared is one of life's most underrated luxuries. With this collection, I wanted to create a bag that reflects that reality, something stylish enough for any setting, yet practical and organized enough to keep up with the demands of a busy modern woman. The Super Bagg was designed to carry everything you need while keeping you confident, and ready for wherever life takes you."
In addition to the Super Bagg, the capsule includes three of Baggallini's most-loved silhouettes: the Lexington Backpack, Crescent Convertible Hobo, and Central Park Sling. Each style is reimagined in an exclusive olive green colorway personally selected by Rocha — an elevated neutral chosen for its richness, versatility, and effortless polish.
"Coco embodies the multifaceted woman we design for — someone who moves through many roles, places, and moments with confidence and individuality," said Lydia Feniger, VP of Marketing at Baggallini. "Her experience living life on the move — from runways and photoshoots to business ventures and family life — made her an ideal partner. Together, we created a capsule that blends statement-making style with the thoughtful organization our customers rely on every day."
