Merit’s new Brandon Maxwell collab lets shoppers score a free designer handbag, here’s how to claim yours
If you haven’t already heard of Merit, it’s a minimalist, clean beauty brand that’s really dominating the make-up and skincare industry right now. Boasting celebrity fans including Hailey Bieber, Sarah Jessica Parker and Cameron Diaz, the brand is known for its ‘your skin but better’ approach to make-up.
And fans can now get their hands on a free designer handbag with the brand’s latest beauty offer. Teaming up once again with Brandon Maxwell, an iconic American designer known for his refined, effortless fashion, Merit is marking the 10th anniversary of Maxwell’s line with an exclusive release that blends beauty and fashion.
The collaboration launches the fifth edition of Merit’s Signature Bag, a chic mini bucket made from soft, pebbled vegan leather and finished with Brandon Maxwell’s signature metal knot hardware. And shoppers who spend £125 or more on Merit’s products can claim the bag for free (while supplies last).

Talking about the MERIT x Brandon Maxwell handbag, Aila Morin, CMO at MERIT said: “The Signature Bag was created prior to launching MERIT — we knew we wanted an objet d’art that you could use as a makeup bag or purse that also insulated your shipment. Collaborating on our original design and iterating with creative partners has been a privilege. Brandon’s work has been on our moodboards for many years – his importance in American fashion and his effortless, classic design style is a perfect fit for the MERIT client. We’re so proud to partner with him in honor of his 10th anniversary on his iteration of The Signature Bag.”
Alongside the handbag, Merit shoppers can buy a limited edition Lip Blush in shade ‘Maxwell ’ (£23), a rich cinnamon-brown colour that’s perfect for autumn. This marks the first time Merit has worked with a designer on a beauty product.
