Who we are

At Sandra Smith™, we focus on the meaningful. From heartfelt messages lining the colorful insides of our gifted bags to motivational linen bins sitting pretty atop a youth counselor’s desk, we thrive on making things that give people the feels. And we take our job personally: all our products are handmade from start to finish in Queens, New York, by designer, Sandra, and a team of local makers who are committed to creating goods that are made to last.

Making Every Bag Count

Our mission is to make a difference by partnering with nonprofits supporting survivors of gender-based violence. Visit our blog to learn more about our efforts to make an impact.

Founder’s Story

Sandra is interested in getting to the heart of common objects—transforming simple, everyday pieces into something more meaningful with motivational messages and other special details. Sandra’s passion for creating art has been lifelong, and her entrepreneurial spirit made for quick success in turning her creations into a business. That success empowered Sandra to break her silence on a difficult topic: her personal story of domestic violence. Now a survivor, she has been an advocate for domestic violence awareness. Being soft and strong are not mutually exclusive—Sandra proves it.
