Collection: Katerina NYC

Creating with a love for colorful, wearable art that makes others feel happy.

A native New Yorker, Kathy grew up watching her father build, make, cut, create with wood, wires, paint, and power tools, and helped him with small tasks. She first started making handbags in her downtime while working backstage on Broadway shows. She used leftover fabrics and leather from costumes to learn how to make handbags. It started as a hobby, became a passion, and now a small business. Kathy was a first-time participating artist in the 2025 Smithsonian Craft Show and currently an Early Career Artist member of the American Craft Council (2025).
