ROTATE Bags and Shoes: The Heart Bag, the Drape Bag and Every Party Heel Explained

The short answer: ROTATE makes its bags and shoes to finish its party dresses, so they share the same details: velvet, knots, flowers and rhinestones. The bags are three soft evening shapes, the Heart Bag, the Drape Bag and the Bon Bon; the shoes are mid and high heels made in Spain, sized EU 36 to 41. Start with the The Heart Bag Red Velvet. Shop all ROTATE Birger Christensen at Coveti, every designer bag, and every designer shoe.

ROTATE Birger Christensen is the Copenhagen label Jeanette Madsen and Thora Valdimars founded in 2018 with the Danish house Birger Christensen. It started with a handful of party dresses and still builds every collection around going out. For most of its life the label was all dresses. Bags and shoes followed, built on the same idea: pieces for going out that do not take themselves too seriously. Read who ROTATE is for the full story.
