  • How a Cara Benevenia is made

  • Each Cara Benevenia textile is woven by hand using over 30 different strips of leather handcut at its New Jersey Factory
  • The textile is cut, bonded, and stitched by hand during the production process. Cara Benevenia executes small production runs, and pays more for less units in an effort to avoid over-producing.
  • The most labor intensive aspect of creating a Cara Benevenia is the iconic half-moon handle. Foam is strategically placed under the collar order to give the handbag a luxurious feel.
  • Cara Benevenia's leather artisans attach the collar with care and precision. The juxtaposition of geometric shapes unfolds as the plaid weaves are married to half moons.
  • No detail is overlooked in your Cara Benevenia. Zipper pockets are a need.
