Chance Jackson of ç a r n c e (pronounced sarnce) is our latest haute designer. The designs are cutting edge, the styles are original, and each bag beautifully displays different treatments and textures of leather and fabric. The collection consists of modern shapes, innovative hardware, quality and functionality.

I have found a new favorite handbag designer by the name of Onna Ehrlich. Her collections include so many beautifully designed handbags made from carefully chosen fabrics, leather and custom hand-done beadwork made in USA.

I was particularly excited to learn of LaBosh Handbags because the designer and I both attended the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising (aka FIDM) in Los Angeles. Tosha Cole Clemens uses her love of fashion

Nothing excites me more than discovering a new handbag collection with an original design concept. It’s refreshing to see handbags that stand out amongst the hundreds of other labels. Posse handbags came on the scene in 2006,

I am always inspired by self taught designers because it takes patience, discipline, innovation, and self confidence to learn a new craft or skill and actually turn it into a profitable business.

A few weeks ago, I learned of a talented handbag designer, Danielle Nicole DiFerdinando. I discovered that we have a few things in common, which makes her story more relatable and inspiring.

Moving to the Island of Chios, Greece at the age of 5 and frequent visits over the years serves as Annie Diamantidis’ inspiration for her namesake collection of striking, exquisitely crafted handbags.

Her products have been bought by Warner Brothers, debuting on the network’s sitcom “Twins” with Melanie Griffith and Molly Stanton. Since then, she and her creations have been featured in films, online, in print and in fashion shows.

A wife, mom and entrepreneur, Susan Farber dreamed of growing a business in fashion.

I discovered Fashionjenn Handbags at Smashing Darling, one of my new favorite websites and community for indie designers. I was immediately attracted to the bold, edgy, textured designs.
