The Story Behind GLASARI
A family business, from our family to yours.
Hi, I’m Penny, and I started GLASARI because I believe beauty should always come with peace of mind.
As a registered nurse with over 25 years of experience, including years spent caring for people in police custody, I’ve seen first-hand how quickly vulnerability can arise, in both high-risk situations and the everyday moments in between. That reality shaped GLASARI from day one.
Every Detail Brings Calm
Nurses are trained to think ahead, stay prepared, and create order in chaos. I’ve poured that same mindset into every bag I design.
Every pocket, every feature, every detail exists to bring calm, confidence, and clarity to your day, because when everything has its place, you can simply get on with living.
Life’s Too Short Not To Have A Good Time
But honestly? Life’s too short not to have a good time while you’re at it.
When I’m not designing bags or obsessing over the perfect zipper pull, you’ll find me with a paintbrush in hand, chatting to my gorgeous customers, or probably doing both at once.
I’m an artist at heart and that creative side has found its way into GLASARI too, through our hand-painted art bags made just for you.
I Absolutely Love What I Do
The designing, the making, the connecting, especially the connecting. My customers are honestly the best part of this whole adventure and I never take that for granted.
So whether you found me through a bag, a painting, or a very enthusiastic Instagram post, welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.
A World Where Beauty, Function And Protection Coexist
There’s something about being prepared and put together that changes how you walk into a room. We design for that feeling.
