Colombian Roots, Global Reach
Quality, exclusivity, authenticity and timelessness are the trademarks of true luxury. These, along with a combination of dreaminess and rigor, are the pillars of the Nancy Gonzalez brand. Designer Nancy Gonzalez is a creator that adapts rare and unique materials with bold colors into must-have accessories.
Gonzalez, a petite, soft-spoken woman of the utmost conviction and unfathomable determination, knows firsthand what it takes to succeed. As a mother of two, she made the almost unsounded choice for a Colombian woman to go into business for herself. Drawing from what she knew best, the inspiration of her native country, she created handbags that celebrated the natural beauty and rich culture of Colombia. With creative spirit and keen attention to detail, she has carefully grown and developed her brand. Now considered a household name, the brand is a leader in the accessories world. With an ever-growing customer base and extensive editorial support from the world’s leading publications, Nancy Gonzalez has become one of the most celebrated handbag designers in the world. Known for her innovative use of precious skins and distinct colors, her handbags have become instant classics.
The Colombian-born designer began selling in the U.S. in 1998, debuting her seven-piece Collection at Bergdorf Goodman. Today, her extensive line of woven clutches, weekenders, satchels, hobo bags and signature box clutches, some one hundred and fifty designs in over two hundred colors, are practically a flagship to the luxury Fifth Avenue store. According to Jim Gold, chief executive officer of Bergdorf Goodman, “Nancy Gonzalez is one of the Key Brands in our accessories department. We’ve had an enormously successful relationship with her for years. She is a true visionary who has revolutionized the precious skins market wit her mix of unconventional colors and design”.
