Growing up, I was always surrounded by nature and animals. At a very young age, I realized there was no real difference between my pets, the animals in the wild, and myself. I am very lucky to not only be equipped with this knowledge, but to also have a platform to share it. One of the best ways I could think of to share this knowledge was by creating cruelty-free handbags to debunk the myth that, in order to be stylish, one needs to spend thousands on a leather bag!

For years, I searched and searched for a cruelty-free bag that was both elegant and affordable. I couldn't find any. I knew I wasn't alone in this search, so I decided to launch my own line. Thankfully, the reception has been great!  The bags are made of mostly, a high quality, recycled pvc. I went with this synthetic because I wanted to provide the world with an intelligent and affordable alternative to leather and exotic skins... to show the world that we no longer need to exploit animals for the sake of fashion. My love of all creatures, great and small, is where I draw my inspiration. No animals were hurt in the making of my collections. I can't think of anything more interesting than that!

Launching, exclusively, at Bloomingdale's was exciting for us. With so many locations throughout the country, I couldn't have asked for a better venue to have my cruelty-free message reach so many people. We started with a couple of locations and now we're available in 8 of their doors.
