Consuela

A must stop in Central Austin to browse and shop handbags, travel bags and accessories created by Austin artist, Conni Reed. Consuela embraces vivid color and prints based on Conni’s design philosophy: The Art of the Unmatched™, which blends purposeful contradictions that yield the unexpected. Inspired by partnerships with artists and makers around the world, products are as tough, versatile, beautiful, and resilient as the individuals who wear them.

Located in both the U.S. and Mexico, products are made by Mexican-owned factories and by artists and their communities. Since the beginning of Consuela, they have been working with these business partners and communities with their well-being and success a priority.

What Makes Them Haute?

Consuela started “It’s Not About The Bag Program” where inspiring women are gifted a Consuela bag who have been nominated by friends, family or co-workers for being awesome.
