Mercules x Lilly Sisto Launches in Style with Intimate NYC Gathering

by Tom White

Last night, fashion insiders gathered at Elvis, the effortlessly cool loft space at 54 Great Jones Street in New York, to celebrate the debut of the Mercules x Lilly Sisto handbag collaboration.

The event welcomed a chic crowd of editors, tastemakers, and friends for an evening of elevated summer nostalgia. Guests sipped spritzes and browsed the limited-edition capsule—a four-piece collection blending Mercules’ signature Spanish craftsmanship with Lilly Sisto’s refined, vintage-meets-modern aesthetic.

Designed between Madrid and New York, the collection includes The Playa, The Aperitivo, The Besos, and The Mercado—each nodding to sun-soaked adventures, feminine silhouettes, and timeless functionality.

“I wanted to reimagine the types of bags I reach for every summer vacation,” said Sisto at the event. “Pieces that feel luxurious, a little nostalgic, and tell a story of adventure.”
