Keis To Joi lands dual Fashion Week showcases before first anniversary

Luxury handbag brand Keis To Joi will appear in the Hamptons and Montclair, New Jersey, on the same Fashion Week weekend, less than a year after launching in November 2025. The dual showcases underline the brand’s growing visibility, retail footprint and French-made debut collection.

Why it matters: - Keis To Joi is moving from startup launch to Fashion Week exposure in under a year. - The brand is trying to build both cultural cachet and direct retail access at the same time. - The appearances could help the luxury handbag label deepen awareness ahead of its first anniversary.

Between the lines: - Keis To Joi is pairing fashion-week visibility with retail and community touchpoints to reach customers in more than one way. - The brand’s positioning leans heavily on craftsmanship and identity-driven storytelling, which is common in emerging luxury labels trying to stand out. - Public sightings of the brand on figures including Novi Brown, Melba Moore and Dionne Warwick suggest Keis To Joi is seeking recognition across entertainment and generational audiences. - The philanthropic donation to Women United’s 15th Annual Power of the Purse and Silent Auction shows the brand is also using charity partnerships to build credibility.

What's next: - Keis To Joi is expanding its made-to-order program. - The Keis Club will continue to offer early access, brand experiences and special opportunities to members. - Joy Frazier said the brand is still at the beginning and hopes customers first discover the handbags, then the story behind them.
