We've been asked many times about the name of the company and this being our first post, we thought it would be a good idea to clear that up and introduce ourselves. "Teresamia" is the joining of both our middle names. Francesca TERESA and Christina MIA.
We started designing and making fabric bags when we lived together in the same house with our families in New Jersey. We had both recently had babies (born 8 weeks apart from each other) and were frustrated with the bag options we found. We wanted diaper bags with TONS of pockets and we wanted day bags that were cute and had long straps to wear across the body so we had our hands free. We just got tired of looking at the same stores for our bag needs and never feeling satisfied with our bag purchases.
So, Christina started drawing up designs for bags and Francesca started sewing away and rummaging through our mom's vintage fabrics in her sewing closet. It became a fun creative outlet for both of us to talk about while sitting on the couch side by side nursing our newborns and that was the beginning of Teresamia!
We decided to start this blog and attach a link to our site because so many people want to know why we named certain bags certain names and how we come up with the designs. We are inspired by a variety of things and decided to give people a little background on the bags they buy. Most of the bags are inspired by interesting people or experiences and we thought you'd all like to know the history of your unique bags. So, enjoy!
