Cara Landy…what a great name for a fashion brand.  Celebrities from Hilary Duff to the Gossip Girl stars agree—they’ve got their own Cara Landy handbags hanging on their shoulders.  Cara, whose 2009 wedding to Robbie we photographed, is from West Hartford CT, and started designing and making handbags at age 14.  After college she took her game to New York City’s Garment District where today she designs and manufactures her eponymous bags.  Cara’s customers are typically women 18-35 who find her handbags in stores like Bloomingdales and Henri Bendel (and online by etailers like eBags and TrendyTrousseau.com), but she sells mostly through hundreds of smaller boutiques around the US.  Her business gets a big boost from celebrity use such as when Ashley Simpson gave Cara Landy handbags to her birthday party guests, which People Magazine publicized.  Then there was the time Oprah showcased Cara’s handbags in her O Magazine, prompting a deluge of calls and hits to Cara’s website.
