Patricia’s journey began with a single discovery - a vintage handbag tucked away in her mother’s closet. Inspired by its beauty and story, and backed by years of design experience, she founded Patricia Nash Designs to celebrate timeless elegance and true craftsmanship. Her mission remains the same today: to create pieces that feel like works of art, made just for you.
Since launching the brand in 2010, Patricia has drawn inspiration from her global travels and a deep appreciation for enduring style. What began as a passion project has grown into a globally recognized accessories brand, known for its distinctive vintage-inspired aesthetic and commitment to quality. Each collection reflects a balance of heritage and modernity - where old-world techniques meet contemporary functionality.
Today, Patricia Nash Designs offers a wide range of handbags, travel pieces, and accessories, all crafted with premium materials and thoughtful detail. The brand has built a loyal following through its storytelling, craftsmanship, and unique point of view, while continuing to expand across retail, e-commerce, and international markets.
Still family-driven at its core, Patricia works closely with her daughter, Jennifer Vanderink, Vice President of Operations and Strategy, to guide the brand’s evolution. Together, they remain focused on honoring the brand’s roots while pushing it forward - continuing to innovate, grow, and connect with a new generation of customers who value authenticity, artistry, and timeless design.
