Megan Avery – M Avery Designs

M. Avery Designs was created in 1998 by Megan Avery, owner / designer / manufacturer / webmaster / sales goddess. After realising that corporate American just wasn't for her, her entrepreneurial spirit took over and this website was created. To this day, all M. Avery Designs items are handmade by Megan and her team of creative ladies in the M. Avery Designs workshop in Hoboken NJ (Just across the Hudson River from New York City).

Cristina Arias Rivera - Putón Verbenero

However in 2004 she discovered her passion for making accessories in felt and handmade paper which she sold at markets at summer festivals.

In spring 2006 she made her first bag collection under the brand name of Putón Verbenero. Putón Verbenero is a little aggressive name, but with a funny component.

Leigh Ference Kämmer - Ference Kämmer

Ference Kämmer is a one woman shop. All bags and accessories are designed totally by her. Each fabric is chosen with great care and thought behind it. She likes to choose fabrics that are classic looking while still being a little bit quirky. She buys new fabrics, not vintage, because she likes to be able to acquire a fabric again if need be.

She enjoys adding small subtle details to the bags, whether it is fun tie closures, feminine lace, elegant looking pleats or subtly braided trims, handles and straps, she tries to maintain a fun yet classic look that she likes to call quirky classic.
