ABOUT US
WELCOME TO
NOT JUST A PURSE!
We’re more than just a store – we’re a passion-driven business created to offer something truly unique. At Not Just a Purse, we believe that every accessory should tell a story, whether it’s a timeless leather handbag, a striking cowhide hat, or a custom-designed purse made just for you. Our goal is to provide not just stylish products, but a shopping experience that feels personal, meaningful, and one-of-a-kind.
OUR STORY
Not Just a Purse was born out of a dream, a dream rooted in individuality, creativity, and a deep passion for quality craftsmanship. The founder, Shannon, has always marched to the beat of her own drum, driven by a desire to create a business that breaks the mold. For years, she envisioned a place where customers could find something truly special, a shop that combined high-end fashion with unique, rustic elegance, and products that were not just for everyday use, but also for the boldest moments in life.
​
The turning point came in 2024, when the world around us began to shift. People started looking for new ways to shop, to invest in quality, and to express their individuality through their purchases. Shannon recognized that the time was right to bring her dream to life – a business offering products that cater to all tastes, from the leather and cowhide lovers to those seeking something more eco-friendly and sustainable. Not Just a Purse was born to fill that need – to offer something for everyone, but in a way that feels personal and unique.
​
We’re based in Vinton, LA, but our online store allows us to share our collection with the world. While we pride ourselves on being a small, local business, we understand that your world is global, and we’re committed to offering high-quality products that transcend geographic boundaries.
