Forever switching handbags and leaving essentials behind, mother-and-daughter duo Susan and Holly Stille set out to create a solution – one that would blend impeccable style, seamless functionality and uncompromising quality. The result was Stone & Mason, a multiway handbag brand designed to keep every detail covered.
Launched in 2018, the collection was born from their shared love of fashion and their complementary backgrounds – Susan in wedding dress design, Holly in marketing – and has since expanded to include jewellery, wedding styles and beach bags, each arriving with its own on-the-go essential kit. Every detail is carefully considered, from the custom-designed hardware to the brand’s now signature interchangeable designs. Their ethos? More than just a bag – a mantra that’s become the heartbeat of the brand.
We love working in the fashion industry because…
It allows us to be creative together, each playing to our strengths. Suze’s experience in couture wedding dress design and Holly’s expertise in marketing make for the perfect pairing. Bringing products to life that we both genuinely love – and that others connect with – is an incredibly rewarding process.
We are best known for…
Our Crisp Collection multi-functional bags (each complete with an essential kit), crystal jewellery with a twist, and playful homeware pieces that add personality to any space.
Our biggest achievement to date is…
Seeing our designs worn by style icons including Rita Ora, Lila Moss, Jamie Winstone, Laura Whitmore and Jessie Ware. Those moments never lose their magic.
We are inspired by…
Travel, always. Each season we collaborate with artisans and charities around the world – from Bali to Colombia – and we’re constantly inspired by the way people style their bags and jewellery in real life. Street style is just as exciting to us as the runway.
The current fashion trend we are loving is…
Beaded crystal jewellery. We’ve launched a full collection of crystal and charm necklaces, bracelets and earrings, each with its own healing or nurturing property. Seeing people layer and stack them is endlessly inspiring.
Our favourite piece to take on honeymoon is…
The Large Palomino Bag – the ultimate beach companion. Inside, you’ll find a quick-dry towel, powder to remove sand, a wet pouch for bikinis, a handheld fan and a vegan leather pouch. It’s functional luxury at its finest.
Our favourite place in the world to skip the crowds is…
A chalet in Courchevel – where skiing, après-ski cocktails, cosy dinners and a little downtime combine for the dream winter escape.
The best person to follow on Instagram for wedding inspo is…
Daisy Lowe. She’s given us all the bridal inspiration we need this year – especially when she wore our Pearl Stone Bag to her hen do. That was a serious fan-girl moment for us.
And finally, what’s next for you…
We’re working on a special capsule for AW25 and planning a series of design collaborations for the year ahead. Bridal remains a huge focus for us – each seasonal collection features styles for weddings, and we’re excited to expand this side of the brand. Whatever comes next, we’ll continue to have fun and stay true to our mantra: more than just a bag.
