Our Story

Catrina Curia was born as an idea in the early 2000s after purchasing a brand-name purse. The feeling of having something new and fashionable was unforgettable. That oversized, gray leather purse not only gave me the ability to express myself without having to say a word but also opened my eyes to a world of possibilities.

Little did I know that many years later after a change in careers, the idea was going to flourish and eventually become a reality. In 2021, I found myself surrounded by strong, independent, powerful women, who inspired me to follow my dreams and supported me in becoming a business owner. After immersing myself in the handbag industry, I realized that even though many of these purses are elegant and flawless they lacked the uniqueness that a handcrafted item can offer. Additionally, I discovered that the ones that offer exclusivity and a luxurious experience come at a high cost to the public and the environment.

After many months of working side by side with experts in the handbag industry, Catrina Curia was born. Our goal is to create high-quality, handcrafted, unique leather handbags and accessories to the public who does not get influence by the brand but rather by the quality of the product.
