Kathy Van Zeeland

Kathy Van Zeeland has designed handbags for years and her designs make you feel confident and sophisticated. Her handbags were born in the mind of a young girl who liked to draw bags and play dress up in her grandmother's old clothes and fashion accessories, before reaching her teenage years and finding a love of fashion magazines, and the dream of one day being a designer.

Before starting her own company, Kathy Van Zeeland was Vice President of Design at a major corporation for nine years. During that time she was responsible for building the product line that fueled their $200 million sales peak.

After leaving her job her husband helped her to create the very first Kathy Van Zeeland handbags three of them in fact; the Nine West, Easy Spirit and the Angiolini. There would go on to become some of the most iconic Kathy Van Zeeland handbags around today.

In 2004, with the support of her family and her husband, (who had assisted her with the three Kathy Van Zeeland handbags mentioned above,) she set out to create some independently.

Now as we approach 2010 Kathy Van Zeeland handbags are famous and successful around the world. In fact Kathy Van Zeeland handbags have become so popular that literally millions have been sold since 2004 which is very impressive for a new designer, or even a seasoned one.
