The Helen’s Daughters handbag business started in 1989 between two sisters: Char, in Wisconsin, and Mariella, in Minnesota. Helen was their mother. The handbag business honors her and all that she taught them about being creative, loving life and having fun. Both are U of W–Stout grads.
Helen’s Daughters Studio designs, creates and sews award-winning tapestry handbags, pocket books, totes, backpacks, and purses. The handbags are plain to fancy, pretty to bold, and everyday to occasional – always useful. Char’s handbags have been carried at hundreds of weddings and proms, and some have traveled all over the world. They are collected and loved by young and old.
Charis constanting search for unusual and sometimes limited fabrics and trims. Char has her own individual handbag style and creative designs. She participates in regional art fairs and shows. Helen’s Daughters Studio can custom – design handbags for any need or occasion.
