In the article, designer Ania Jenise shares more about the inspiration behind the brand. “I was carrying a black owned bag one day & received quite a few compliments. Each time, i'm like “thank you it’s a black owned brand” & I was just so proud & decided I wanted to create something for women, but especially women that look like me so they could feel how I felt in that moment.”

In addition to making women feel powerful with fashion, Ania Jenise Co. also focuses on being being sustainable with their designs. “The biggest thing is that it is mostly sustainable from the materials used to make the bags all the way down to our shipping labels and the boxes the inventory come in are recyclable and sustainable materials used. My vision is to have a brand that won’t break your pocket, but still give a luxury look while also helping save the planet a little.”
