Meet Our Artists

Carolina Bags LLC has carefully curated products made by Carolina Artisans as well as other Southern Artisans.  We put local art on products that you choose.  Our tote and gift bags all highlight the art done by local artists.  Additionally, Carolina Bags exclusively offers Carolina made gourmet food, some of which is in a small size (perfect for gift bags), jewelry, pottery, candles and bath products and Carolina centric puzzles, glassware, travel mugs and travel books. We also feature Fine Art Stationery and prints that feature the Carolinas, all done by Amanda Klein, a Southern Artisan.

Our products can be used for Corporate Events, Reunions, Weddings or as guest giveaways.
