MEET ALEXANDRA MARIA LARA


For our first It’s In The Bag: Women Who Inspire series, we caught up with actress and former co-president of the German Film Academy, Alexandra Maria Lara. Shot with the Duo Tote Large in Black.

At Vee Collective, we are constantly inspired by the women in our community. In our new series, we’ll be spotlighting a few of the many women we admire, hearing about their careers, achievements, and the advice that shaped them — discovering how our VEE totes fit into their everyday.
