In the early 1980's when Carson was designing handbags, she started working with a triangular shape bag.  One day in 1983 one of her triangular bags was sitting on her studio table, and a friend walked in and said, "What is that?...A backpack?, and the light bulb went on.  At a time when designer backpacks were just coming into their own, Carson designed the ultimate bag in form and function.

She started marketing the Carogi Bag at Arts & Craft shows, and in 1987 at an event in Arizona, Carson met Joan Edelmann.  Being instantly united in vision, a collaboration was formed to bring the Carogi Bag to a new level.  Over the many years together, they have combined their artistry in many aspects of the bag such as:  Hand painting, collage work, the writing and illustrating of the instruction card, and the purchasing of many fabrics and leathers both domestic and imported.

We change our fabrics and designs frequently to keep the Carogi Bag fresh and new.  We strive to provide a wide variety of styles and colors to create a palette that best suits the needs of our customers.

Please see our schedule of events for the coming year.  We'd love to hear from you with any questions or comments about our bags.
