Everyone wants to be unique, especially when it comes to fashion. Recognizing and fulfilling that need is amykathryn handbags.  With designer Amy Hall’s eco-conscious, animal-friendly and trendsetting handbags, she has created one of a kind accessories for the fashion forward.

Taking a cue from her mother and grandmother, who designed 5-star hotels and homes, Amy pursued her own creative career.  Starting off in fine art and furniture, she opened the Peterson-Hall Gallery in Scottsdale, Arizona.  Along with her 10-time Olympic medalist brother, Gary Hall Jr., they showcased museum-quality furniture and art. 

After a few years of running the gallery, Amy decided to expand her talent and tapped into her love of Italian printed fabrics and accessories. Since it’s inception in Los Angles in 2002, Hall’s amykathryn handbags have become increasingly in demand.  Many of those getting in line for her original shoulder artwork include celebrities such as Pink, Gabrielle Union, Jessica Simpson, Hillary Duff and Lisa Rinna. 

Introducing her 2007 spring line, Hall has created several bags of different sizes, shapes, and colors.  Using a custom printed ultrasuede and satin gold lining on most of her products, Hall has designed several truly unique bags that will surely make their owners stand out in a crowd.

One of the designer’s  personal favorites is the "Corset" tote.  This soft bag includes an inside zipper pocket, two open pockets, a top snap closure and comes in Lilac Black or Lilac Sienna.
