Cinda B and Case-Mate

From running an off-road adventure company in North Carolina to snowboarding down the slopes in Utah, most of us would need an energy drink to keep pace. Cinda's handbag was no exception. Her constant companion, the wear and tear of her handbag began to show. She set out looking for a handbag as versatile and fashion-forward as her.

After scouring the market, Cinda took the adventure into her own hands. Inspired by the idea of creating a look for every woman in every location, she developed her own handbag and accessory line, cinda b. The contemporary line features a water-resistant base that makes them functional and fashion-forward.

More importantly, Cinda makes each bag in the United States. Crediting her Southern roots, it's an important aspect of her business. "It was one of my goals starting the company," she recently explained. "I thought to myself, why not? Why can't my bags be made in the United States?"
