About
Thank you for visiting Djoi Designs! My name is Florence Smith, the creative spirit behind Djoi Designs; a handcrafted leather handbag and jewelry company. Djoi Designs was created as part of my "Second Act" 16 years ago. I am a self-taught maker, I love working with my hands. Each of the handbags are hand cut, hand punched, and hand stitched; using locally sourced high quality leather. The jewerly is made with Italian leather and components procured from around the world. Each of the handbags and jewelry designs are unique and one-of a-kind; the pieces are designed to compliment the stylish individual. The inspiration for my designs is drawn from fashion and the arts as well as a need for self expression. My goal is to create wearable art.
