Step out in style with Billie, a colorful shoulder bag that takes the brand's love for woven textiles into the digital realm. The Billie features a multi-color plaid printed on twill, taking inspiration from our Designer's maternal grandparents; named after her grandfather and inspired by a colorful coverup her grandmother wore in Miami. Billie is a timeless, yet modern update to your everyday season-less shoulder style.

CARA BENEVENIA believes in quality, sourcing only the finest hides from the Province of Arzignano, Italy.  Our leathers are not only selected for their durability and beautiful finish, but for their origination.  The smooth, buttery feel and earthy smell of your CARA BENEVENIA is a testament to the tried and true craft of Italian Leather tanning.

Your CARA BENEVENIA’s most unique feature is the signature handwoven leather textile exclusive to the Brand; a juxtaposition of various treated leathers, strategically woven together to create a chic, multi-tone leather mix.  This one of a kind textile design was born during our Designer Cara's Undergraduate Thesis Development, evolving into a one of a kind, show-stopping leather textile, signature to the CARA BENEVENIA Handbag Collection.

Inspired by her Artisan Roots, Cara Benevenia works exclusively with a Woman-Owned Leathergoods factory for the design, development, and production of all CARA BENEVENIA Handbags.  In the heart of New Jersey’s Union City, local leather artisans craft each and every CARA BENEVENIA Handbag.  More than just an accessory, CARA BENEVENIA Handbags represent beauty, humanity, and American Jobs in the heart of where our Designer is proud to call home.  Every CARA BENEVENIA supports and uplifts a new generation of artisans working toward their version of the American Dream.
