Creators of innovative artisanal bags that last.

I’m inspired by those who came before us.

I started Rosenstaub with my mother. She was an artisan – a force combining ancient wisdom with the creation of the new. 

It was 2005 when we turned her crochet patterns into Rosenstaub’s first bags. She passed away only a few years later. Yet as I moved forward, she, and the artisans of generations before her, remained my inspiration. Why? Because across centuries, women have supported their community’s craft. Now, through Rosenstaub, modern women can continue this heritage, too.

Working together with the best regional ateliers - Rosenstaub

We’re here for the long haul.

Craftspeople are meticulous and diligent. But fashion moves quickly these days. Both creator and consumer are pushed to overindulge. As we move into the future, we need to hold onto our values. 

At Rosenstaub, I straddle convention with innovation while honouring skill, quality and the environment. I’ve established my brand of ethically produced handbags by selecting unconventional textiles – I was one of the first to create Yulex handbags (a natural rubber) – and collaborating with Europe’s finest regional craftspeople and family-owned ateliers. 

Is moving so carefully worth it? Yes, for you and I both. Because Rosenstaub’s luxury bags for women embody what we’re all passionate about. 

Keeping local craft alive - Rosenstaub

We move slowly and with meaning.

This pace lets us think deeply about the story behind each of our limited edition bags. Recently, I launched our Canvas Tote 1G1777, reflecting a historical chapter of Paris and its women of today. And, proudly, after personally storing them for the last twenty years, I also released a small line of apple leather crochet bags from the archive, made with my mother in Rosentaub’s very early days.

Luxury Neoprene Bags - by Rosenstaub

Take our beautiful pieces forward with you.

As a sustainable fashion brand, Rosenstaub produces limited-edition handbags that are lightweight and high-quality. But we also know that utility can be beautiful.

That is: our most treasured items don’t need to be bland. Rosenstaub’s artisanal handbags move away from the norm in more ways than one. With offbeat colours and innovative aesthetics, you can experience unique designer bags that spark joy season after season. 

Whether you’re on your commute or out on the weekend wearing one of our bright neoprene bags or luxury tote styles, I hope that you know it’ll be with you, and part of your story, years from now. 

And with you, I’ll be looking ahead as I create new slow fashion bags that let us women support ethical fashion and artisanal skill across the past, future and in the here and now.
