Leather handbag, "Out on the Town"

The first thing one notices when meeting Rosario is her cheerfulness and enthusiasm. Born in Peru in 1948, Rosario first began studying psychology, but eventually dropped out to work in business. She then got married. After the birth of her fourth child, Rosario decided to take a course in leather design and creation.

"I was absolutely fascinated with the possibilities that leather offered," says Rosario. "The first things I designed were holders for lighters and lipstick, purses, wallets, and pencil cases. Eventually I began making handbags. I can say with confidence that they are of great quality, they are finely finished, and they are beautiful!

"I am proud of what I have achieved so far. My inspiration comes from the people that are nearest to me, and from a desire to see women enjoy a chic and elegant image. I am a perfectionist, so I make sure that every accessory is perfectly styled.

"My greatest aim in life is to see my children grow up to be responsible adults that support others without loosing sight of the mission we each have in life – that important element of solidarity.

"I appreciate the opportunity to join Novica. I think my collections will offer my customers that special accessory they are looking for. And they can be certain they have made a good choice!"
