about us



In 1999, designer and artist Giselle Restrepo realized that a unique reversible bag made great, personal gifts to her friends and family.

One year later,  g selle bags was formed. Still a small business, popularity through word of mouth spread across the US, resulting in a high demand for the unique  g selle bags, and even led to the appearance of a  g selle tote on the WB show "Charmed".

Now an ever-growing woman-run business,
 g selle bags are available in boutiques, at trunksales, and through our website on- line.

All  g selle bags are created from the finest available vintage and contemporary textiles and leather. Each bag is a guaranteed one-of-a-kind, stylish and reversible creation, which reflects the unique color play among the chosen materials.

Styles of reversible  g selle bags include:

the chopstick handbag, which features interchangeable chopstick handles, the key purse, which features an antique-style Spanish key toggle closure, and the  g selle tote, which features a key toggle or a tie closure.

 g selle bags also offers custom-made "art bags" which can include materials such as patent leather, antique kimono silks, recycled mink, or even battery-operated neon-like "E-L" wire.
