In 2005, Consuela's Founder, CEO & Chief Creative Officer, Conni Reed found herself unfulfilled working in the corporate world. She set out on a quest to bring joy into her life and positively impact the world, honoring the artists and culture that shaped her fondest memories of being captivated by the vibrant contrast of colors, textures and human connection she enjoyed during childhood trips to Mexico with her father. Conni set three goals; 1.) Make Art. 2.) Support and Uplift Women. 3.) Work in Mexico. Today, twenty years later, what started as a one-woman entrepreneurial venture out of her garage in Dripping Springs, TX, Consuela, is a beloved, vibrantly colored, textural, meticulously built handbag and accessories brand headquartered out of Austin, TX and Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico. The name Consuela is derived from the verb consolar, meaning to console, comfort and uplift. This spirit is reflected in Consuelas simple yet powerful mantra: Make Today Ridiculously Awesome! Our mantra shapes everything we do from designing with purpose to blending artistry with functionality to celebrating resilience and embracing all the twists and turns of lifes journey. The Art of the Unmatched is Consuelas trademarked design philosophy and its the basis, foundation and inspiration for each collection. Consuela is representative of lifes journey, a collage of sights, sounds, emotions, and travels. Unexpected colors, textures, and patterns, that are purposefully unmatched rather than mismatched as if by mistake. Driven to support and uplift women, Conni founded the Consuela Viva Babe program to honor women who inspire others with their courage and strength. This initiative reflects Consuelas dedication to shining a light and sharing stories that could easily be overlooked. Connis belief in nurturing the creative community is evident in her efforts to uplift communities in both countries. Through integrity-driven operations and long-term relationships, Conni supports culture and fosters thriving communities, underscoring her mission to grow and win together. Under Reeds leadership, Consuela has earned recognition in Forbes Small Giants, with features in Us Weekly, NY Post, Good Morning America, Texas Monthly and more. Rooted in the 7Ps of our Evergreen Certification, we are a Purpose-driven team with the grit and resourcefulness to build a Private, Profitable, enduring and market-leading business that makes a positive dent in the universe. Consuela continues to redefine fashion with purpose with a growing omnichannel business spanning
e-commerce (ConsuelaStyle.com), wholesale (1,200+ accounts), retail (3 stores), and national department store presence . As the brand evolves, Reed remains committed to creating art, supporting and uplifting women, designing with intention and celebrating lifes journey. Ready to Build, Balance, and Grow?
