MARIAN PAQUETTE

Driven by her passion for environmental conservation, Marian Barker embarked on her journey as a handbag designer nearly a decade ago. Troubled by the environmental impact of textile waste, she resolved to repurpose fabrics and save them from landfills. By self-teaching the art of handbag craftsmanship, Marian developed her distinctive line of one-of-a-kind bags. From designing frames to cutting fabrics and constructing each piece, she honed her skills over two years of dedicated effort.

Marian's expertise now extends to every aspect of handbag production, enabling her to collaborate seamlessly with her skilled production team in Los Angeles. By meticulously estimating fabric requirements, she minimizes waste and ensures eco-friendly practices. Any excess fabric is preserved for future use in pillows or ottomans, reducing the environmental footprint of her creations.
