Not every woman is into jewelry but the one accessory that every woman invests in is a handbag.
Some are willing to spend as much as $300 to $400 on a bag or even more.
There are staple handbags that can be rocked for most outings and there are those that are purchased for specific outings.
No matter the occasion, these black-owned handbag brands have something for you.

CA custom luxury handbags are inspired by the versatile cultures that Christopher has experienced over the years. “Minimalism, tribal, exotic, and statement designs are my muse. However, I want my clients to wear my designs, not to have my designs wear my clients,” Christopher says on his website.

Alexandria Alli’s early modelling career exposed her to so many luxury brands at an early age. Realising later that most of the models couldn’t afford to purchase the accessories they modelled, she decided to create an affordable handbag luxury brand of her own with the help of her husband Alfred Ali for busy, on the go women, with striking Italian leathers.
