Designer Spotlight-Joy Fabiano
Handbags are a great way to add a pop of fabulous to an otherwise plain outfit. Founded in February 2009, Joy Fabiano is a company that designs eco-friendly handbags that are also very cute and chic. In my experience, when someone creates something that’s considered eco-friendly, it tends not to be very fashionable. But Rachel Sanches, creator of Joy Fabiano, has found a way to create eco-friendly hand bags that are cute and can be great staples for your wardrobe. The price point is higher than a purse you may get at the local Target but the good thing about a great bag is it can be carried every day. Rachel Sanches took some time to give us her design inspirations and thoughts about fashion.
What inspires you to create?
I was originally inspired to start designing eco-friendly handbags when I realized how much clothing is wasted and trashed every year. I wanted to design something that was “up-cycled” yet still cute and chic! Since starting my line, I’ve also begun designing clothing, wallets and even some canine apparel!
What is one tip you would give to an up and coming designer?
My advice is not to be discouraged if you don’t have formal design experience or didn’t study it in college, you don’t have to have those attributes to succeed in this industry. Also, don’t be afraid to give away some of your items when you’re getting started. The more people wearing your designs the better!
Fashion is not just what you wear; it provides others with a glimpse of who you are.
