Luisa Clare is an exclusive Australian design label comprised of sisters Luisa and Carla Sanzone. Each season, Luisa Clare releases a beautiful collection of quality hand-crafted leather handbags and feminine, elegant clothing. The label has built a reputation both within Australia and internationally by continuing to offer designs that are glamorous, feminine and striking works of art.
The original inspiration for the Luisa Clare concept was in 2001 when the sisters discovered some fabric and leather swatches at an industrial centre in Sydney. The textiles inspired them to create the first line of Luisa Clare handbags. A year later, Luisa and Carla were selected to launch their Luisa Clare label at the prestigious Australian Fashion Week. Ongoing, in recognition of their quality, uniqueness and originality, the Australian fashion industry awarded the Luisa Clare label as Best Accessory. The label has also been chosen to showcase at art galleries and in a book on original handbag designs from around the world: a further testament to their concept of “wearable art” and of their reputation for originality.

Luisa Clare also opened a showroom in Berlin for European clients and media. This led to an extensive range of Luisa Clare clothing and accessories being displayed in select European design exhibitions and fashion shows. The Luisa Clare label has also expanded into the United States with a Los Angeles Showroom showcasing designs for American clients.
Luisa Clare continues, each season, to release beautiful collections to some of the most interesting boutiques within Australia and around the world. The clothing designs continue to be made from original-print and natural fabrics such as cotton and silk embellished with a stunning range of hand-beading. The handbags are always handcrafted from the label’s signature soft leathers and superior finish. While all of the Luisa Clare items are fashionable pieces, each design is an enduring item with intrinsic value and collectible appeal. |
