Meet Laura
Founder + Designer of Vogelle
Hey! Iโm so glad youโre here!
Originally from Denver, Colorado, and now based in Santa Monica, California, my love for travel began when I landed a modeling contract in Mexico City at just 17 years old. Living abroad at such a young age gave me a deep appreciation for new cultures, and I was hooked. Now, 20+ countries later, my love for travel continues to grow. I went on to study at CU Boulder, taking every opportunity to travel. During college I spent a summer in Madrid as an au pair and later studied abroad in Milan, Italy.
It was in Milan that VOGELLE was born. I sketch each handbag myself and my collections are handmade by a small manufacturing team just outside of Milan with genuine Italian leather from Florence.
My brand is a direct reflection of my passion for travel, immersing myself in different cultures, and connecting with locals. Over the years, Iโve become the go-to travel planner for friends and family, which inspired me to create this blog. I hope it inspires you to go after your next adventureโwith a VOGELLE in hand. ๐
