INTRODUCING JACQUELINE ARPS

the designer.

Designing and sewing has always been a passion for Jacqueline Arps since the age of 12.  She specifically remembers being intrigued by the detail and intricacies of handbags, especially the ones that made a clunky sound when they closed.  This interest led her to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), one of the nations most renowned schools for Fashion.

Though Jacqueline's focus and career veered more towards clothing after graduation, her love for beautiful bags was never far from her mind.  After years of receiving many request from family and friends for the handmade bags that she loved to create, she decided to reignite her original childhood passion by launching Jacqueline.
