wearable art, made with love
Each Cara Benevenia textile is woven by hand using over 30 different strips of leather handcut at its New Jersey Leathergoods 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 its 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 bag's collar with care and precision. The juxtaposition of geometric shapes unfolds as the brand's plaid textile is married to a half moon.
No detail is overlooked in your Cara Benevenia. Zipper pockets are a need.
