Sissi Rossi's luxuriously soft, colorful slouch handbags and washed leather satchels are hand finished in time-honored Italian tradition. Founded in 1992 by the husband-and-wife team of Beatrice "Sissi" Rossi and Massimo Betocchi, the duo initially achieved success within the industry for their buttons and accessories. In 1999, they entered the luxury handbag market and became an immediate hit. Experimenting with imperfect shapes, hand stitching and unusual colors-think dusty pink, forest green, mustard and ocean blue-the quirky handbags are anything but cliché.
