Nazz Ares is an independent design studio focused on leather and canvas accessories located in Raleigh, NC.
All materials used in the manufacturing process are personally sourced by Fernanda Batista, the maker behind Nazz Ares. Each bag is conceptualized, developed, and carefully handmade from start to finish in her studio at ArtSpace.
The products that I intend to bring to Vend Raleigh Sip+Shop are strictly handcrafted bags. I carefully source all the materials used in my everyday work, each bag is handmade from start to finish by me. Most of the leather that I use comes from South America, especially Brazil, and Argentina. Part of my creations are hand-painted and hand-stitched, making each bag one of a kind.

La Belle Soy
At La Belle Soy, we combine beautiful elements to create compelling candles that are free of harmful ingredients. Our wax is derived 100% from soybeans in support of our farmers, and our fragrance oils are proud creations of a local North Carolina supplier who is devoted to toxin-free scents. An excellent candle should be both calming and evocative, and we have given each of ours the name of a Spanish or English song that we feel captures the spirit of a particular scent. Of course, what a candle stirs within you may be another melody, another dream, altogether….
