Cristina Vasiliky was created with the vision of blending luxurious and rich fabrics into a handbag possessing timeless elegance ensconced with a modern twist. The designs are based on soft curves which enhance the magnificence of each fabric. The bags all have hidden magnetic closures which when opened reveal linings that are equally special. To us, each bag is a visual masterpiece.

We pride our line on its individuality. Each fabric has been specially selected to not only visually stimulate your senses, but to stimulate the need to touch and feel these incredibly soft and tactile handbags. Each handbag will also possess a specially chosen designer brooch. We use all fabrics and are soft and tactile. We choose fabrics that are unique and different and make a woman want to hold this special bag. When you open the bag the linings are all as special and unique as the outside. Our target audience is for the woman who appreciates something unique and special and wants to carry a little piece of art.

We actually got started in an interesting way. We decided that after selling other several small designer's handbags that we were ready to create something of our own. We had already done lots of research and now wanted ownership of our own handbag line. We designed our first line last fall and continue to listen and tweak our styles as we get customer feedback. Our last bag designed, the Kaitlyn, was a work in process. It looked easy enough to convey to our manufacturer but it took a very long time of explaining, re-explaining and redesigning until we finally got the final product.

Something that most don't know about is that our line was created in honor of our mother's and daughters. We name all of our bags after each of these very special people. Our greatest achievement is the fact that with no formal design background we took our prior skills of finance and marketing and our sense of style to create and run a company that is slowly growing and creating a name.
