About

In 1998, Rachel left the suburbs of Chicago to attend FIT. She did not know it at the time, but New York would become her home and constant source of inspiration. After completing college, Rachel found herself headed in new directions… translating her background in fashion design to accommodate her passion for handbags. As a new mom and fresh out of school, Rachel launched her first collection in 2003. It was picked up on the spot at the famed Henri Bendel “Open See” day for emerging designers, and quickly grew to include accounts such as Bloomingdale’s, Steven Alan and the Target Red Hot Shop.

As the fashion industry has continued to change over the years, Rachel’s philosophy remains the same. She believes that each bag has a story, and loves to see even her oldest bags still traveling the NYC streets. Rachel lives in Brooklyn, and looks forward to expanding her collection with more everyday “classics.” 

Rachel’s work has been featured in: The New York Times, WWD, Elle, Style.com, Lucky, Nylon, Refinery 29, Bloomberg Business week, New York Magazine, Page 6 Magazine, Vogue Japan, NY Post, Time Out New York, Conde Nast Traveler, Daily Candy, Self, Glamour, Country Living, Black Book, The Target Red Hot Shop, AdAge, NBC New York, MSNBC, and Gossip Girl.
