Please allow me to introduce you to Corie Humble, designer of Corrente Handbags.  Corrente handbags are designed and produced in Brooklyn, NYC where Corie has lived since 2002.  Some may remember Corie as she has Northwest roots and spent some of her high school years at Astoria High School (Astoria, Oregon).

Corie's design aesthetic comes from a fine arts and painting background and design classes from The Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), NYC.   The Corrente line started "all because of riding a bicycle in NYC", "I wanted to make chic bags for girls who needed to go from a bike to an office still looking fresh".  You can read more about Corie and the Corrente line in an interview with her at www.handbagdesigner101.com, click on "All Designers" and select Corrente Collection.
