My name is Galit Perez, founder and designer of CARTERA Bags — a woman-owned leather handbag brand created in California.
CARTERA began from a simple need: to create something meaningful while staying close to my two daughters. What started as a personal journey became a passion for leather, craftsmanship, and everyday design.
I create small-batch leather handbags that are simple, practical, and beautiful. Each bag is designed to feel natural in a woman’s life — easy to wear, comfortable to carry, and timeless enough to use again and again.
For me, a handbag is more than an accessory. It carries a woman’s everyday essentials but also becomes part of her rhythm, confidence, and personal style.
Today, CARTERA bags are carried by hundreds of women in their daily lives — to work, for errands, for travel, for dinners, and everywhere in between.
CARTERA is made for women who appreciate quality, simplicity, and quiet beauty.
