"What started in 1986 as one woman's creative outlet and focused quest for an appealing, yet surprisingly functional handbag has quietly blossomed into an inspiring business. Still living vibrantly at the core of that business is the same devotion to practical design and the wonderfully restless creative process, evidenced by the sheer amount of talent we've attracted from both Europe and numerous creative meccas across the US. All the while we're remaining connected to the land of rain and rivers that energizes our original brand of eclectic, purpose-driven bags, packs, belts and wallets."
