Hi, I’m Michele — a lifelong maker, mom, and grandmother who believes in creating beauty you can carry. From the time I was a preteen, I’ve been sewing, knitting, and crafting. Over the years, that creative passion has grown into DeliberatelyCreated, my little studio where I design handbags that are as joyful as they are practical.
I’ve always believed that the things we carry every day should make us smile. Too many handbags feel impersonal — mass-produced, plain, and forgettable. I wanted to design bags that blend craftsmanship, function, and personality.
