Hi, I’m Karen, and this is Ted. 🐶

Karen & Ted started with a simple idea: bags should be beautiful, practical, and built to last.

For years, I found myself constantly searching for the perfect bag - something I could throw my essentials into, carry anywhere, and actually rely on. So many bags looked great, but weren’t practical. Others were functional, but lacked the timeless style I wanted.

I knew there had to be a better way.

Inspired by my travels to Marrakech, a city filled with rich textures, warm colors, and skilled artisans, I set out to create bags that balance form and function effortlessly.

At Karen & Ted, we make bags that move with you, designed for everyday life while carrying a story of craftsmanship, tradition, and timeless design.

Why Marrakech?

Marrakech has always been a place that inspires me - the bustling souks, the scent of leather in the air, the artisans who have spent decades perfecting their craft. Every Karen & Ted bag is handcrafted right there in the heart of the city, using techniques passed down through generations.

Each piece is made in small batches, with carefully selected suede and leather, so no two collections are ever quite the same. When you carry one of our bags, you’re carrying something unique - crafted with intention, designed to be treasured.

Karen & Ted isn’t just about bags. It’s about slow fashion, thoughtful craftsmanship, and making everyday essentials feel special.

From Marrakech to wherever life takes you, I hope you love them as much as I do.

- Karen (& Ted 🐶)
