Cathy Christiansen was born into the modeling and fashion world with her family opening a high-end clothing store in the 60’s. Surrounded by the latest and best collections, such as Rudi Gernreich, developed her eye for design.​
​
A successful model representing many companies such as Max Factor, Clairol, Cathy took her developed eye for design and opened a Multi Brand Showroom representing collections from all over the world. ​
Working with all collections she worked on design ideas and merchandising. However, she took the next step by taking her own ideas and designs to start Christiansen handbags & leathers.​
Selling to top stores in America, and seen on the arms of many celebrities and high profile customers, her concept is to take exotic skins or plain leathers and create a reason to buy, always a little different, with hand stitching, lazer cutting, etc. Cool and beautiful for those who do not just want another handbag, but an interesting and unique statement.​
