Hello, my name is Kari, and Elan Handbags is my vision for providing stylish, earth-friendly handmade bags at a great value.   

Since I was a little kid I have always loved crafting and making beautiful things. To have something that was carefully and lovingly created for you by another's hands is the most beautiful present that can be received.

Elan means enthusiastic vigor and liveliness, and distinctive style. That is exactly what my handmade bags are. I have a passion for helping the earth and trying to minimize my impact upon it. That, along with my love for beautiful things, helps me to create bags with a distinctive style.

I appreciate the time you have taken to find out more about Elan Handbags. Please look around, I am sure you will find something you love.

I welcome any comments you may have, and if you have any suggestions on improving my site or my bags, please send me an email.
