Bags by Norena is now 'Purse Palace'

Our family Business

Our business is family owned and operated.  Together with my dear sister Mariana Rodriguez, we began simply by bringing in little bottles of essentials oils to work to share with our friends.  

With the encouragement of my husband Juan, I was inspired to expand our line of products to include designer inspired purses and other trendy accessories.

A friend asked us to set up a table in her basement at one of her parties--and that's where the fun began.  A shopping hobby has now grown into a fun business that continues to delight us.

Of course, I will always be grateful to my sister Mariana and my husband Juan for working side by side with me to help this dream grow.

Future Vision

We are a family of many cultures. 

With our Italian, Borriquen and South American cultures in mind, our vision is to hire local artisans to help us bring our customers more unique, hard to find goods-such as pottery, handmade linens and jewelry.

In the near future, we hope to bring you "Bags by Norena" an exclusive line of hand crafted leather purses made by Colombian artists of Medellin and other regions of Colombia and South America.  

Please stay tuned for great things!
