About Consuela

In 2005, Consuela’s, Founder, CEO Conni Reed found herself unfulfilled working in the

corporate world. She set out on a quest to bring joy into her life and positively impact

the world, honoring the artisans and culture that shaped her fondest memories of being

captivated by the vibrant contrast of colors, textures and human connection she enjoyed

during childhood trips to Mexico with her father.

Conni set three goals; 1.) Make Art. 2.) Work in Mexico. 3.) Support & Uplift Women.

Today, twenty years later, what started as a one-woman entrepreneurial venture out of

her garage in Dripping Springs, TX, Consuela, is a beloved, vibrantly colored, textural,

meticulously handcrafted handbag and accessories brand headquartered out of Austin,

TX and Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico. It now has a presence in over 1,200 independent

accounts, a thriving e-commerce platform, 30 Dillard’s stores and three Consuela-

owned corporate stores — and it’s still growing.

The name Consuela is derived from the verb ‘consolar’, meaning to console, comfort

and uplift. This spirit is reflected in Consuela’s simple yet powerful mission: ‘Make Today

Ridiculously Awesome!’ Our mission shapes everything we do from designing with

purpose to blending artistry with functionality to celebrating resilience and embracing all

the twists and turns of life’s journey.

The ‘Art of the Unmatched’ is Consuela’s trademarked design philosophy and it’s the

basis, foundation and inspiration for each collection. Consuela is representative of life’s

journey, a collage of sights, sounds, emotions, and travels. Unexpected colors, textures,

and patterns, that are purposefully “unmatched” rather than mismatched as if by

Mistake.
