Bolsa Nova Handbags

Karen Cardoso is the visionary Founder and Designer behind Bolsa Nova Handbags, a brand that defines elegance with a touch of wanderlust. “Bolsa Nova,” meaning "New Bag" in Portuguese, captures a fresh, exciting take on luxury accessories. Karen brings 30 years of fashion industry expertise to her brand, Bolsa Nova. All the bags are designed in NY and made in Italy from bohemian-chic, buttery, soft-washed leather. What makes them special is the Florentine washing process. Each bag is meticulously handmade in small batches by family-owned factories in Italy, ensuring unmatched quality and individuality. They are made from white, undyed leather and then undergo a meticulous 7-step process: drum dying, rinsing, air-drying, tumbling, ironing, and conditioning. Everyday luxury with soul.
