About Us

There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.

About Me
I am a Southern California native who now makes the windy city of Chicago my home. I love music, fashion, friends and family, not necessarily in that order. I have two beautiful nieces and one adorable nephew all under 5 that brighten my every day!

About My Collection
Brynn Capella Handbags and Accessories beckon to be touched as much as to be admired. I am committed to making beautiful, functional but affordable handbags that embody the spirit of individuality. I simply don't believe in mass-production. Every design is produced in limited quantity to keep each piece personal and unique. Fine craftsmen in Chicago create each of these limited edition pieces and from only the most luxurious materials, and the resulting creations feel as sumptuous as they look.

Simple, classic silhouettes embody all designs. It's about creating handbags that are understated not over-the top. My philosophy has always been less is more. And with no cut corners or middle-of-the-road designs, each piece stands alone with no detail left undone. They are guaranteed to attract attention and stand out in the crowd. Don't be surprised when everyone asks, "Where did you get your handbag?"

My two newest styles, wristlet and hobo, were inspired by my cat and my best friend. Cher was my little, adorable, always by my side, beloved companion. She was sleek and soft and was always there when I needed her...just like my wristlets. Allison's style is trendy yet classic and she is always running about town and needs to bring a lot with her wherever she goes, so I wanted to create a bag that reflected her needs. So I designed our Allison Hobo to be a beautiful big classic shape, made with only the most classic fabric and leather combinations and of course extra functional...inside zipper pocket, two open pockets and an expandable strap, so you can decide how long you want it.
