About Me



Hi.  I am so glad you found my shop.  
The idea for my company came after many weeks of hunting for "the" perfect bag.  I have always loved fashion, design, and sewing and decided it would be easier and more fun to make my dream bag rather than searching the malls for it.  

Carissa Black makeup bags have been featured in Good Housekeeping Magazine and on ABC's The Daily Dish.  They can also be found in select boutiques across the country.

My shop is here for you.  Choose from my ready made collection or contact me to design your own unique bag.  I use only the highest quality materials and pay special attention to detail in all of my designs.  Many of my bags incorporate vintage findings as well as up-cycled leather.

You can feel good about owning one of my bags because they are completely handcrafted in my Connecticut studio which means you are choosing to support American made products.
