Cara Landy<\/em><\/strong>…what a great name for a fashion brand.\u00a0 Celebrities from Hilary Duff to the Gossip Girl<\/em> stars agree—they’ve got their own Cara Landy handbags hanging on their shoulders.\u00a0 Cara, whose 2009 wedding to Robbie we photographed, is from West Hartford CT, and started designing and making handbags at age 14.\u00a0 After college she took her game to New York City’s Garment District where today she designs and manufactures her eponymous bags.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

What’s not to love about Cara’s bags?\u00a0 Beautiful, soft leathers, practical zippered pockets and cool colors like lime green, crocodile and chocolate.\u00a0 She makes these bags in the USA, right in Manhattan’s Garment District where Cara says “we have so many really talented people from South America and Mexico that take such pride in their work…they’re incredibly skilled and produce amazing quality.”\u00a0 Cara has grown her business significantly over the past five years despite the recession–in fact she’s made a line of canvas “Hard Times” bags for charity, mocking that recessionista feeling in the streets.\u00a0 Cara also uses Facebook<\/a> to get the word out as well, letting her friends know about sample sales with great results.\u00a0 “I don’t know how we did it before Facebook!” she commented.\u00a0 Check out Cara’s very cool handbags and see where to buy them at www.caralandy.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Thanks Cara!!!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
