From the Nelle Handbags website:

The Wisconsin native got her start in handbag design at age 23 with no more sewing experience than a shark pillow she had constructed in a home economics class. In the spring of 2003 Laura set out to master the art of handbag design with a load of determination, a used sewing machine from the Goodwill and a library card.

In 2004 Laura Nelli started Nelle, a handbag company focused on creating luxurious handbags and clutches. By combining quality fabrics with her keen attention to detail Nelle handbags and clutches illustrate Laura’s deep appreciation of vivid colors and textures. Respect for independent and slow design led Laura to develop a handbag label that prides itself on crafting well-constructed pieces that are produced locally.

Since then Nelle handbags have attracted the attention of style editors and industry insiders. In 2008, Nelle was named one of 5 finalists in the Independent Handbag Design Awards for Best Handmade Handbag Category. Nelle’s entry was picked out of more than 600 entries from around the world.

Among her designs available for purchase are the following handbags and accessories. How perfect would these clutches be as gifts for your bridesmaids? Love them!

Good news for San Antonio brides – Bella Bridesmaid in Alamo Heights carries select items from the Nelle Handbag collection.

Taken from the Modern Romance website:

It all started with a bride who couldn’t find a wrap for her wedding. She searched high and low, in bridal shops, online and in local boutiques with no success.

Thankfully the bride had a friend who loved all things weddings and loved to sew. The friend created a beautiful ruffle-y wrap that was just the thing to dress up the bride’s elegant yet simple dress.

The guests oohed and aahed, the bride’s friends wanted wraps for their own weddings and Modern Romance was born.

Designer Christine Gorman creates romantic, unique wraps and accessories so you can have guests oohing and aahing at your wedding too.
