A native of Prague, Czech Republic, Marketa Psenickova received a degree in accessory design from the Fashion Institute of Technology. After graduating, she began a line of edgy yet classic handbags and Marketa New York was born.
In addition to the skills she learned while at FIT, Marketa honed her natural eye for detail while working with some of the most recognizable names in millinery including Casa de Rodriguez and Cha Cha’s House of Ill Repute. She applies her extraordinary experience with high end hat production and design to every piece in the Marketa New York collection.
Utilizing minimalist aesthetic and subtle styling, Marketa New York is a collection of handmade leather totes, shoulder bags and personal accessories. The designer's juxtaposition of contrasting fabrics such as metallic linen with distressed leathers, and the placement of unexpected metal hardware give each piece a distinctive edge.
The line is sold in selected boutiques and is manufactured in New York City.
