About Us

The Furies began with two friends—and a shared point of view.

We are Tere Stevens and Barb Kulesz. We founded The Furies Collective in 2024, designing in Darien, Connecticut and hand-finishing each bag in Argentina.

We’ve lived abroad, built careers, raised families, and learned that great style isn’t loud. It’s assured. It’s personal. It lasts.

Tere grew up in Paris, steeped in effortless sophistication and the rituals of a life well lived.

Barb’s deep ties to Latin America and Argentina in particular sparked a love of artisan craftsmanship, hand-finishing, and fearless color.

Today every Furies bag is made by a third-generation, family-run atelier in Argentina, using pebble leather certified by the Leather Working Group — a global standard for environmentally responsible production.

Together, we create leather accessories that balance polish with personality—quiet luxury with a wink. Strong, approachable, and made for women who know what they like.

No trend chasing. No noise.

Just beautifully made bags with perspective.
