The Cara Benevenia brand celebrates a beautiful marriage between Italian Heritage and American Manufacturing through the design, development, sourcing, and production of all Cara Benevenia Handbags.

Anthony Benevenia, Cara's paternal great-grandfather, emigrated from a small village on the southern coast of Italy to industrial Newark, New Jersey, spending his days as a luxury men's tailor at the renowned American Shops on Broad Street.

Cara's pride in being an Italian-American from New Jersey with Artisan roots has inspired the entirety of the Cara Benevenia brand and mission; a celebration of the values of family, integrity, passion, and purpose while sustainaining life, jobs, and the beautiful craft of leather-makig in one of New Jersey's inner cities.
