Handbags made in the USA: Let's make a list

hicindy2 — Wed, 01 Apr 2015 21:08:07 GMT

I thought it might be fun to name some brands made in the USA. It is getting so hard to find them. I purchased a Cinda B thru their website. Amazon has them also. Nicely made and no chemical odor. Hoooraaayy.

This is the one that I purchased: the mini hobo in the black/bronze.

I am going for the Ivory next:

I am also on the mailing list for Stephanie Dawn, but have not yet purchased: seems to be more like Vera Bradley.

Stephanie Dawn handbags are fun, functional and fresh. All colors and patterns are designed with modern American women of all ages in mind. Finally, a stylish and high quality handbag line that is EXCLUSIVELY MADE IN THE USA.

Also, I want to put in a plug for Peggy Karr glass: handmade in America. Check her website and Amazon. Got this cute little tray. Arrived safely and well-wrapped.

Next I want to order the beach chair: WARNING: these are addictive.

Everyone should procure what works best for them... and each to their own... That said, I'm sorry, but if these are the best examples of made in the USA bags, maybe it's no wonder that folks are buying 'imported'... Hoping everyone enjoys their personal choice in handbags, where ever they're made.

Yes, they even make exceptional handbags in the good 'ole USA.

Here's a pretty good list of USA made handbags a blog writer compiled in 2014. I own several of the brands mentioned and after discovering her blog, there's another brand I'm interested in trying.

Pretty items! Even King Ranch Saddle Shop has beautiful items. A lot of saddle shops carry beautifully made leader goods, as well...all American made.

The Hulme bags are lovely, if a bit pricey. Many wonderful styles on offer...

Yes they do! There really are so many made in the USA options if we step away from the shopping channels...

I have one very well made leather bag by Libaire. This line is made in USA. The workmanship is excellent. They do have a website. The bags are very basic in style and color, but good quality.

I posted this, the other day, in another thread, I didn't know we could post company names. I purchased an orange tote a couple years ago and still get compliments. I think a lot of us are tired of the bling and the weight that goes with it.

"I'm with you, a zipper top is a must. I found a company in Berkeley, California that makes leather bags that are wonderful. Probably can't say the name but it starts with an L and ends with an e. Goggle leather purses in California and it should show up. Also made in USA."

It's not just the shopping channels, the stores carry many brands of bags and many of them are 'imported'... If anything, brand options on home shopping are more limited than in stores, but it wouldn't seem that means stores are more likely to offer domestic goods.

Hi Cindy, thanks for posting some of the photos. The one on the bottom left is the one I got in orange. The straps are long enough to wear as a shoulder bag, and the pockets on the ends are zippered and perfect for keys.

Hi cindy,

Thanks for the post of American made handbags! I looked cat cindab.com and this one caught my eye. Since you have purchased this style, do you like it after receiving it and did you have any problems ordering etc?

I wish I was talented enough to sew my own, but I'm not. I'm afraid it wouldn't look anything like a handbag. my niece on the other hand makes her own patterns and sews her own handbags, she is very "crafty".
