Designs by Nicajo creates handmade purses, handbags, backpacks, and bags using original patterns designed in-house. From the first cut of fabric to the final stitch, every bag is cut, sewn, and finished by hand—with no outsourcing or mass production.

Each handmade bag is built for durability, everyday use, and personal style. Many of our designs are one-of-a-kind, and we also offer custom bags and custom purses so you can create something truly your own.
