ABOUT OUR DESIGNS:

With our new line of handbags, we want to bridge fashion with practicality. Being an active person myself, I understand what it’s like to be busy, running from meetings to dinners, and hopping on my bike in between. I want to ensure that my handbag fits into this lifestyle, while still remaining fashionable. Many aspects of our handbags were created with these principles in mind, from interchangeable handles, to functional waterproof dust bags.

My work combines both my artistic and design skills. Practical and comfortable pieces are elevated with special techniques, including hand-painted fabrics and tambour-embroidered appliqués. These art-to-wear items are meant to stand apart from the rest.

As a creator, it is so important that I approach my work responsibly. From sourcing sustainable materials, to fair working conditions and the importance of supporting the local economy, we have the power to leave the world a better place.
