At Lara B. Designs, every handbag begins with a love for design, texture and timeless craftsmanship. Founded by Lara, our studio and boutique in Newton, MA, is where ideas take shape — from sketch to prototype to carefully cut leather — before becoming the lightweight, beautifully durable handbags our customers come back for.

We hand-select high-quality leathers from Italy, Argentina and beyond, using the whole hide in our process. Unlike synthetic alternatives that end up in landfills, genuine leather is natural, long-lasting, and compostable at the end of its life. It’s slow fashion at its best — fewer, quality pieces that get better with time.

Every handbag is designed to be your go-to companion — effortlessly elevating a little black dress and your favorite jeans. More than an accessory, each piece is a reflection of thoughtful design, clean lines and sustainable values.

Our customers love telling the story of their handbag — not a mass-produced name but a handcrafted piece of art — created with care. That’s what makes a Lara B. design unique: made to be worn, loved and cherished.
