Affordable luxe. Handbags by Brynn Capella are definite must-haves. Not only are they functional with lots of pockets, they are elegantly styled in classic designs. Because Brynn does not believe in mass production, all of her products are handcrafted in the United States. She uses decorator fabrics, elegant hardware, and sumptuous, soft, lush, glazed Italian leather, to create her bags in many hot colors. The styles range from shoulder slung to clutch wristlets.
Rising star, Brynn Capella, is the design force behind her brand, Brynn Capella Inc., which started as a hobby that quickly turned into a business venture. Brynn is a native Californian who moved to Chicago to be closer to her family. She spent ten years in the music business, and is a self-taught designer/entrepreneur. Always an independent, creative spirit while growing up, she knew she would work in the arts. Her love ofnature, architecture, geometric shapes, and music show throughin her designs.
Brynn has a Journalism (advertising/broadcast) degree from San Diego State University, but says she knew she wanted to be a designer when she was about thirteen years old. But, believing such a dream was impossible,she did not study fashion design in college. She studied art and graphic design instead.
Starting out, Brynn would make her handbags for friends and family, but with the help and support of the city of Chicago, she started selling in boutiques. Today, her handbags are sold in several states. She names her bags after the people who inspired them. One of her coolest memories is when, for the first time, she saw a stranger carrying one of her handbags at a theater in Chicago. Brynn was selected as Style Bakery's Designers to Watch in Spring 2007.
Brynn has quickly caught the eye of many celebrities, such as Katy Perry, Whitney Port, KT Tunstall, and more. Her hot new Lauren Crossbody Messenger bag was a huge hit during its introduction this summer.
The design philosophy of Brynn Capella is: "Less is more. Clean lines stand the test of time, because nothing over the top stays around for very long." Brynn's goal is to create an affordable luxury boutique handbag line, in limited edition, that is made in the United States.
Brynn advises young designers to have thick skin, a good eye for color, and a good head for business. A valuable lesson she learned is not to over-design or over-produce for a season. She has learned to keep it small, simple and clean.
She would love to see the city of Chicago build a community among its fashion designers, local boutiques, media, etc., because it seems they operate separately. She feels if they were united -- allwould be stronger.
She draws inspiration from designers Michael Kors, Cynthia Vincent and Marc Jacobs. Her favorite celebrity to design for would be Jennifer Aniston.
In the future, Brynn envisions her collection being sold in many boutiques, as well as her own flagship store. She says if she wasn't designing these beautiful handbags, she would be a music director in radio or something music-related.
Brynn's advice to women: "Do not be celebrity-styled obsessed. Do what works for you and your body type. And, most importantly -- accessorize!
Brynn Capella handbags range in price from $19 to $399, and can be purchased online or in retail stores.
