silver & riley

Launched in 2019 by Lola Banjo, a former corporate strategist turned entrepreneur, Silver & Riley was born from a desire to create high-quality, functional, and stylish travel and fashion accessories. Frustrated with the declining quality of legacy luxury brands, Banjo self-funded her venture, seeking out small, family-run factories in Tuscany, Italy, to produce her collection of leather goods. The brand’s name itself is a tribute to her late mother, who was also an entrepreneur. Silver & Riley’s core offerings include a range of handbags, duffles, and travel accessories known for their durable materials, thoughtful design, and versatile features, such as the popular Convertible Executive Bag which can be worn in four ways. The brand emphasizes its commitment to ethical production and giving back through its 'Buy 1, Give 5' program, which dedicates 5% of every sale to grants for women entrepreneurs. With mentions in publications like Harper's Bazaar and Travel & Leisure, and a growing presence in retailers like Nordstrom, Silver & Riley is gaining recognition for its blend of classic design and modern utility.
