Apede Mod

Apede Mod is a New York-based handbag label founded in 2016 by friends Jaquelyn Wang and Claudia Lin, who named it after Apedemak, an ancient warrior deity associated with courage. The range focuses on structured, color-driven leather bags at contemporary prices: shoulder bags, totes, mini bags and novelty shapes such as the Froggy Bag, alongside an equestrian-inspired Saddle Bag made with imported bark-based leather. Styles are grouped under the Apede 1.9 collection. The brand sells direct online, stocks Farfetch, and stages themed pop-ups.
