After sporting our fav leather tote to the office for well over a year, we had to meet the designer!! Meet Maria, founder of @k.a.e.i.u, a leather bag brand born from her deeply personal journey through infertility and into motherhood. We spent time in her home office learning about her design process, the story behind the brand, and meeting her young one!! In true Mixed fashion, Maria’s story is full of twists, turns, serendipity and meaning—full link to interview in stories 💕 Photo: @phoebecheongphotography
