I didn’t expect to become a handbag designer. I was trained in fine art and graphic design and gave birth to my four daughters at a young age.

I was fully entrenched in family life when I realized there was a part of myself I had left behind. 

I began to re-balance myself. The stories of women like Coco Channel and Jackie Cochrane captured me. Rather than drifting through life, these women made a conscious decision to pursue their passions.

I thought, maybe I could too. So here I am, in my early 40’s building a fashion brand. Encouraging women to make the most of their life. 

Women are complicated, multi-faceted humans, with much to express. We often juggle many roles in life, and can forget the ones deep down inside. The ones that are just us. 

To do something new, doesn’t mean we have to abandon our other loves. Embrace the wonderful complexities of life and learn to live and love it all.

Three values central to my work

Encourage women to live a full life: There are many ways to live a life. Do your best to get to know yourself.  Create the blend that is right for you! 

Quality Materials: Leather is luxurious, durable and long lasting. Quality materials are the foundation of a timeless handbag that lasts for generations.

Affordable luxury: Suzanne Faris pieces elevate your personal style. Let your bag be a reminder of who you are and the freedom to explore.
