About Allora Designs,

Handbag Architecture

My name is Julia Somma Wilhelm and I would like to take this time to introduce my new line of handbags.

I have been an architect for over 20 years and I have recently started designing and manufacturing handbags.

 I received my architectural degree from Carnegie Mellon University located in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania where my passion to design and create was fostered. While expecting my first child, I rekindled my enthusiasm for sewing by making my own maternity clothes. Then along came my second child and I became a stay at home mom. The desire to create and design was still alive and well. In order to fulfill this desire I decided to combine my architectural design skills with my sewing skills and create an unique line of architecturally inspired handbags. So then came the birth of my "third child" ... Allora Designs, Handbag Architecture.

In our Collection; Graphic Standards, the new blueprint for success is to begin with standard classical shapes and infuse them with bold graphic prints and our Italian leathers are beautiful. The canvas is treated with a soil repellent and waterproofing. Each handbag is adorned with Allora Design's logo medallion and each design is available with Allora Design's signature logo fabric.

Plan A : There are no rules to follow when you accessorize with your Allora Designs handbag, have fun and think outside the box. Use your handbag as a form of self expression. As your mood changes so can your handbag!

In a world where everything is mass produced, it is nice to be able to make your own statement. Why not make it with your handbag!

At Allora Designs, Handbag Architecture each handbag is designed by an architect and constructed by hand in the U.S.A.
