Based in Oakland, California, Offhand Designs prides itself on original designs, high-quality local craftsmanship, and exclusive detailing. In a market flooded with mass-produced imports, Offhand Designs is dedicated to producing handbags that stand apart from the mainstream in every way. Offhand Designs brought its first line of handbags to life in the fall of 2001 and presently produces multiple collections of handbags, totes, clutches, baby bags, knitting bags and needle clutches in exquisite velvets, brocades and chenilles. From the creation of the pattern to the final stitches, each bag is handmade in the San Francisco Bay Area.
