rafe New York


Designer Rafe Totengco is a true New Yorker. Originally from the Philippines, he came to New York City to pursue his dream of a career in fashion, armed with ambition and his unique design sensibilities. In a city that’s all about individuality, Rafe fit right in.

In 1989, Rafe left a successful business that he started in Manila to pursue his dream of a career in fashion design. He moved to New York, enrolled in FIT, and supported himself as a design assistant.

In 1994, he produced his first accessories ­ belts and watchbands ­ for a SoHo boutique: they sold out instantly. When the shop asked him if he had bags to go with the items, he enthusiastically said 'yes'...even if he didn't have a single bag to show for it. One year later, the first collection of Rafe New York handbags debuted at uptown department store Bergdorf Goodman.

Since then, Rafe has become one of the most acclaimed of a new generation of New York designers.
