I'm Aleksandra, a handbag designer and artisan based in Florence , Italy - the luxury leather goods capital of the world.
I graduated from Kent State in May of 2020 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Design.
I worked in corporate fashion as an Assistant Handbag Designer in New York before moving abroad to go back to school to learn the art and methods of artisanal handbag making from the skilled leather artisans in Florence.
