Creative Director, Debra Polanco, designs for the girl who is always on the go and wants clothing and accessories to travel with her throughout her day. When talking about her inspiration behind the handbag line, Debra explained, “I identify with both the City Dweller and the South by Southwest girl. We all need bags that look good 24/7 whether it’s at the office, dinner, or your favorite music festival. With the core collection, the Sanctuary girl has come to expect our signature elements of surprise and it won’t be any different with the bags.”
