About The Artist

Seymour Mondshein • Rosemont, NJ
Clothing & Accessories • WHOLESALE AVAILABLE • CUSTOM COMMISSIONS

We strive to create work of lasting beauty, designs which are lightweight, durable and functional. In that process, we use only the finest materials available and the highest levels of craftsmanship. Seymour Mondshein started making bags at the age of eleven in the back of his father’s Maple Fur Shop in Newark, New Jersey. The couple met when Lisa Martin came to New Jersey to be the Textiles artist-in-residence at Peters Valley Craft Center, and the rest is history.
