Born and raised in Maryland, handbag designer Danielle DiFerdinando's passion for design began at a young age. She always knew she wanted to concentrate on accessories; first designing a line of custom neckties and ultimately finding her calling with her focus on handbag design.

Danielle’s passion carried her through the doors of Fashion
Institute of Technology and later to Europe on study, where she became transfixed by the design and manufacturing prowess of the design houses: Fendi, Hermes, Prada, YSL, and Armani. From there, she aggressively worked her way to apprentice at
prestigious companies such as Bergdorf Goodman, Gucci, Be&D, and Anthony Luciano.

In 2006, Danielle launched Danielle Nicole Handbags. By summer
2007, the cosmetic buyer at Bergdorf Goodman asked her to design a line of luxury cosmetic bags. The handbag buyers were quick to notice the success of the cosmetic bag line and asked her to design a collection. Orders from department stores and specialty stores across the world soon followed. Some of our major retailers include Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, and Nordstrom.

Danielle's collection of luxury handbags -- characterized by Italian
Hermes leather and nappa lambskin -- sets her apart from other contemporary handbag designers. She provides her clients with a
fresh twist on classic styles.

Danielle Nicole Handbags has recently launched our second handbag line; a diffusion collection entitled Elle Nicole, debuting in March 2010. This new collection features trendy and contemporary twists on our classic designs.
