DESIGNER ON THE RISE
Adriana Fabiana handbags
Born in the United States, but raised in Guatemala, sisters Adriana and Fabiana Gonzalez Di Bartolomeo were pushed from an early age to create their own opportunities through dedication and hard work. Combining Adriana’s educational background in entrepreneurship and Fabiana’s knowledge of exotic species and Guatemalan biodiversity, the two founded their new handbag line, Adriana Fabiana, last year.
Each bag is carefully crafted for a chic and elegant woman, no matter the occasion—whether she is on a night out on the town, brunching with friends, or heading to and from work. While the bags are composed of exotic hides, such as ostrich, Cayman crocodile, and South American python, the sisters only make use of skins that are CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) certified. And with Guatemala close to their hearts, the sisters donate a portion of the proceeds from each handbag to promoting entrepreneurship amongst rural women of Guatemala.
Orders are currently being taken via email at info@adrianafabiana.com, and the line is slated to make its debut at Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, and Bergdorf Goodman this fall.
