From www.carrymeplease.com. Still one of our favorite emerging designers, Denise Wilson’s Bronsino collection of finely hand-crafted and one-of-a-kind handbags is beautiful, and the perfect gift for that unique special someone! Introducing the Bronsino Prague Handbag, in luxurious Italian leather; Espresso & Rust, Cherry Red and Burnt Orange. Denise Wilson's background is in the Fine Arts, having studied in Vancouver and Florence, Italy. She has traveled extensively throughout Europe and North America and makes regular trips to Peru to live for a few months at a time. Art, design, travel, language and other cultures have always been a huge part of her life and continue to influence and inspire her work. In summer 2005 Bronsino Designs for Living, was born in Vancouver, Canada. The name Bronsino pays homage to her husband's family home in Lima, Peru (Calle Bronsino) which is named after the 16th century Florentine artist Agnolo Bronsino.

The finely crafted handbags and accessories from the Bronsino collection are classically inspired works of art produced in very limited numbers. All items are handcrafted in Vancouver of the finest quality materials. The current collection is named after places from Denise’s travels. "Bronsino Recycled" was introduced for Fall 2006 and focuses exclusively on recycled and reclaimed leathers. Denise’s work has been featured in Fashion Magazine, the Georgia Straight, Vein Magazine, Real Weddings, Vancouver Lifestyle Magazine, Where and Shared Vision Magazine. When we first met Canadian Designer, Denise thoroughly enjoys designing luxurious bags. She is an extreme perfectionist which is obvious in her designs. She creates beautiful handbags that are made for living. The collections are designed to be worn every day, to last year after year and increase in beauty over time and wear.

Each handbag is made in Vancouver, BC and no two bags are alike. She uses different linings, textures, procedures, stitching and hardware to insure they are one of a kind. The bags are so soft that they naturally find the curves of your body and nestle against you. With so many styles having the adjustable strap it is easy to adjust the bag to your own comfort. Denise is a family oriented person and enjoys being able to work side by side with her husband to design unique creations. Her favorite leather to work with is goatskin because of the incredibly soft buttery touch and rarity. She doesn’t believe in waste and uses every piece of leather she can. Small pieces are used for wallets, make-up bags, credit card holders and one of kind unique buttons. Denise buys all of her high end leathers from Italy. She takes the Go Green concept seriously and does what she can to protect the earth by using reclaimed and recycled leather for a lot of her bags. They are so incredibly beautiful you won’t believe they are recycled.
