Our Story

Created out of chaos. Crafted with intention.

The idea for Cuffletta didn’t strike in a design studio or a moment of stillness—it came in the middle of real life.

I was holiday shopping with my newborn son. Between the diaper bag, my purse, shopping bags, and a stroller that didn’t always cooperate, the outing quickly became overwhelming. I was flustered, frustrated, and trying to do too much with too little help. Eventually, I gave up and headed back to the car.

As I walked across the parking lot—arms full, energy low—I remember thinking:
“There has to be an easier way to carry a purse.”

That moment stayed with me. And on the drive home, the idea revealed itself clearly: a bag that moves with you. One that doesn’t require choosing between beauty and practicality.

That was the day Cuffletta was born.

Designed to Keep Up. Built to Stand Out.

Cuffletta is a convertible leather purse that transitions seamlessly from arm purse, to crossbody, to waist bag—designed to keep you hands-free and composed, even when life is anything but.

Every detail matters—from the feel of the leather to the curve of the strap to the way it rests on your body. Each bag is designed with intention and handcrafted in small batches, so nothing about it feels mass-produced or ordinary.

This bag came from one of the most chaotic moments of my motherhood journey—and turned into something that gives women a little more ease, freedom, and confidence. Cuffletta is for every woman doing the most while trying to carry the least. Thank you for being part of the journey.
