Vicki Jean bags are handmade, leather pieces that are unique, beautiful and functional. Each piece is a work of art. Vicki Jean is a unique brand that is locally made and handcrafted stitch by stitch. She offers a variety of styles for every season and need. Vicki Jean shoppers are focused on comfort and style. After serving in the Air Force as a young woman and taking desk jobs to make ends meet, Vicki decided to rely on her creative entrepreneurial side to make a living. She made women’s clothing with her mother, owned and operated an antique store, and helped with her husband’s seafood business. After experimenting with jewelry for a time, Vicki honed her desire to be a maker and turned to leather for the fine, rich, sensuous qualities of the material. She uses her talent for sewing and fashion assembly to design and build a line of luscious handbags for everyday use. Vicki has 3 children, all adults, and she lives with her husband on the Big Island of Hawaii.
