Patricia Nash Designs was inspired by founder Patricia Nash’s mother’s handbag. After a successful career in retail and business, Patricia launched her brand in 2010, focusing on vintage-inspired leather bags with exceptional quality. She collaborated with Italian artisans to develop her signature craftsmanship, drawing inspiration from her travels and family memories.
Today, Patricia Nash Designs offers a wide range of products, including handbags, wallets, travel accessories, jewelry, scarves and a men’s collection. The brand is available at major retailers and online. In 2025, the brand celebrates its 15th anniversary with exclusive releases and new additions like footwear and beach cover-ups.
Patricia Nash Designs also gives back to the community through partnerships and initiatives. The brand values heritage, craftsmanship and family, with each bag crafted to become a cherished possession.
This year’s Bolo Bash Reception and Luncheon will support Baptist Health College Little Rock, which has a strong history of preparing the next generation of nurses and health care professionals to improve the health of Arkansans. All proceeds will support facility expansion and improvements to increase student enrollment and enrich learning in all programs.
