Tara Sauvage, Designer
After a decade of designing handbags, belts and fashion accessories for companies in Los Angeles and Seattle, Tara decided
to launch her own collection - named after her two adorable pugs Rocco and Dante.
In 2007, Tara went to
Milan, Italy and took an intensive Italian handbag design course at the internationally known ARS Arpel Sutoria School to
sharpen her technical skills in luxury goods. Each bag prototype of the Rocco e Dante collection is road tested by
the designer herself to make sure that the function of the bag works for the busy urban girl and changes are made as needed
to each style to make it as user friendly as possible without compromising the beauty of the design. Tara also
designs handbags and fashion accessories for corporate clients as a freelance consultant.
