About Judith Leiber
Judith Leiber is the New York evening bag house founded in 1963 by Budapest born Judith Leiber, the first woman admitted to the Hungarian handbag guild. Her crystal minaudieres became the signature: crystal minaudieres set by hand, stone by stone. She received the CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award in 1994, and her bags are collected by museums and by clients who carry them to galas, weddings and inaugural balls. We stock Judith Leiber at Coveti for galas, weddings and collectors.
“The Judith Leiber Lobster Claudia in Scarlet Red is one I keep recommending. There is nothing like the weight of a Leiber in the hand. Keep everything else simple and let the bag be the jewellery.”
Gemma Deeks, Fashion Editor at Coveti

What is the Lobster Claudia made from?
The Lobster Claudia is hand set crystals on a metal frame, with a metallic leather interior. Each crystal is set by hand, which is why no two Leiber pieces catch the light in quite the same way.
Where is Judith Leiber made?
Judith Leiber designs in New York. The Lobster Claudia is made in Italy.
How should I care for a Judith Leiber crystal bag?
Handle it gently and avoid knocks and drops, which can loosen crystals. Keep it away from perfume, lotion and water, and store it in its pouch and box between wears.
What is Judith Leiber known for?
Judith Leiber is known for crystal minaudieres, the hard framed evening bags covered stone by stone in crystal, in shapes from flowers and animals to food and cocktails. The house was founded in New York in 1963.
Is Judith Leiber a luxury brand?
Yes. Judith Leiber is a luxury evening bag house, and its couture crystal pieces are made by hand in small numbers. The Lobster Claudia is $13,330 at Coveti.
Is the Judith Leiber Lobster Claudia worth it?
A Leiber is a collectible as much as a bag. The hand set crystal, metal frame and leather lining are built to last for decades, and the novelty shapes are made in limited runs, so they are hard to find once a season sells through.
