After 18 years in the New York fashion industry, I decided to focus full time on my love of designing and making handbags. It’s my biggest thrill to scout high and low to find beautiful high-end leather and gorgeous antique and vintage keys with a history behind them; then I incorporate them into my line of leather bags and vintage-inspired accessories. Every piece is a piece of history!

I consider myself both artist and craftsman; I take great pride in the meticulous construction for which Urban Heirlooms handmade is known, and it’s my joy to re-purpose old materials into something fresh, new and innovative.
