Kathy Cappelli, Owner of Oxford Handbags & CO.

Every Oxford Handbag has a history - from the relationship with the artisan, to the life of the wearer. Our founder, kathy Cappelli, designs each bag with the intention to create pieces that can be passed down through generations. Our handbags are all made with care by skilled artisans in portugal, with minimal waste and carbon footprint. in 2022, we expanded our line to include luxury linen products.

About us

Our bags are made of 100% organic cork- a vegan leather alternative. we also carry 100% european flax linen products that are oEKO-TEX Certified. Kathy’s inspiration behind the creation of OHB came from her trips to the beautiful cities in Portugal and Spain, where she was inspired by the high level of craft and care put into each product within the local family-run shops.

 

Why cork? Cork is lightweight, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, waterproof, durable, and a completely natural raw material.

Our Mission

We strive to set an example through our daily sustainable choices in order to encourage others to follow in our footsteps and contribute to a positive shift in the fashion and textile industry.
