DESIGNER

Our Founder

Rossina, a Peruvian-born immigrant and founder of this female-owned business, is living her American dream. Arriving in New York with her family in 1985, she sought a better life and seized the opportunity to design for renowned fashion houses. Years later, Rossina embraced veganism, which transformed her perspective on animals and the environment. Motivated by this shift, she embarked on a mission to introduce sustainable alternatives to the fashion industry. In February 2022, Rossina officially launched Vannesa Rossi, offering modern designs that prioritize premium sustainable materials. Today, she resides in Queens, NY, driven by her unwavering commitment to make a positive impact and revolutionize the harmful aspects of the fashion industry.

SUSTAINABILITY

Our Materials

Vanessa Rossi redefines luxury with high-quality designs and materials that rival genuine leather bags, with a key difference: our unwavering commitment to environmental and animal welfare.

Our partnership with DESSERTO allows us to create stunning collections from cactus vegan material, ensuring that style and quality are never compromised. Every product in our brand is 100% cruelty-free and sustainable.
