Denise Gerassi is a Brazilian brand of handbags, shoes, and accessories, infused with authenticity and soul. Since 2013, when we first conceived Denise Gerassi Handbags and Accessories, our goal has been to create a brand that celebrates the value of artisanal craftsmanship, with sustainable, locally sourced materials and delivering timeless, high-quality design, something we are proud to have achieved with distinction.
Indeed, Denise Gerassi’s philosophy continues to yield meaningful results, echoing through the lifestyle and values of our customers. We remain committed to legitimizing elegance — with a deep respect for people and the planet — at every step of our production and retail process.
We discovered the value of local labor, seeking out skilled artisans to meet the high standard of quality our raw materials deserve. That’s why we closely monitor the entire production process in specialized workshops. This allows us to guarantee unique products and ensure the appreciation of everyone involved, always with social responsibility.
We value local, artisanal labor and contribute to its development!
Creating modern and timeless design is almost a devotion for us! Yes, we believe in our greatest source of wealth — Brazil and its people.
We create our handbags, footwear, and accessories inspired by our roots. Natural, genuine themes based on artisanal and sustainable processes, developed in partnership with artisans and specialized cooperatives from various regions of the country.
The first Denise Gerassi collection took its inspiration from the Vitoria Regia legend. We dove into the motif, crafting lines, shapes, and textures for the pieces. That’s when we found our true identity — Brazilian essence, the soul of our project!
Brazilian and sustainable design is our passion!
Natural and biodegradable, leather is a byproduct of the food industry — and a precious resource. We work exclusively with environmentally certified tanneries, ensuring every step meets the strictest sustainability standards.
Our star material, the exotic pirarucu leather, is developed according to our specific requirements for color, texture, and softness — always within a sustainable technology. Learn more...
Respectfully sourced, high-quality raw materials: that’s what sets our products apart.
The Índia Naiá line tells the stories of the hands that craft each bag’s distinctive fringes — produced through the collaborative work of rural communities in Brazilian state of Espírito Santo. That’s what we call sustainable design: reviving traditional techniques, training and empowering local artisans, using recycled materials, and enhancing functionality to protect the environment.
More than just a design philosophy, Denise Gerassi created a new mindset. We are transforming creative and production processes, reframing ideas, behaviors and consumption habits. We are proposing a new lifestyle. Visit our blog to learn more.
We believe in collective work as a way of life!
“We transform discarded materials into works of art — shaped by the talented hands of Brazilian artisans.”-
Each Denise Gerassi piece is delivered wrapped in a natural-cotton bag, where the message above is printed as a symbol of our commitment to design, sustainability, and authenticity. Every detail carries meaning, and every product reflects our passion and respect for our project.
Can dreams come true? We believe they can — and Denise Gerassi is living proof
do chemistry and fashion have in common?
At first glance, not much, but in Denise Gerassi’s case — everything. A trained chemist and pharmacist, Denise decided to take a bold turn in her career to follow a dream: creating a sustainable accessories brand that would offer women something truly different. Told to "seek therapy" when she first shared her vision, she proved that conviction beats convention. In 2013, She partnered with Moum House Creative Design Studio to develop a strategic plan for her project. And in the summer of 2015, after months of passion and persistence, the brand was born. Denise Gerassi is an elegant, eco-friendly brand for women who want more than fashion. It is a sophisticated representation of Brazilianness.
A bold dream, brought to life with heart — and here to stay.
