Where it all began...

My passion and fascination for handbag design and construction runs deep. In 2019, I designed my first handbag using a cardboard granola box and duct tape. This snowballed into me experimenting with cardboard and faux leather, and eventually purchasing a sewing machine to explore garment construction holistically.
