A few years ago, I was introduced to “SML bags” through a local traveling trunk show, Trendy Trousseau.  After falling in love with my first “Rosie” bag, I learned that the designer, Shana Luther, was originally from Pittsburgh!

After bring born in Pittsburgh, Shana and her family moved to New York shortly thereafter.  However, she says she comes back to visit 1-2 times a year to visit her aunts, uncles and cousins in West Mifflin.  She says her favorite part about the city is driving through the Fort Pitt Tunnels and seeing the skyline upon exiting.

Though she isn’t a resident ‘Burgher, Shana is an accessory designer, creating handbags by hand out of her studio in Brooklyn, NY. After graduating from the Pratt Institute and dabbling in costume design, she officially began creating handbags in 2005 after making bags for her friends and friends of friends. She was even asked to design custom bags for the popular design blogger of Oh Joy!. One of the coolest things I think about her bags is that they are unique to anything on the market and she can custom-design them to fit your taste (think custom bridal bags!). I had the chance to chat with her about becoming a designer and how cool this hobby is for her.  This is what she had to say:
