about
Established in 2003, {AO3} Designs specializes in designing, customizing and producing original handmade handbags, clutches, and accessories. Handmade one at a time, by a person, by hand.
A love of art and design has led us to a very practical object...the handbag. The exploration of color, texture, and shape and the many ways they accentuate and complement each other provides the momentum in every piece we produce.
