Nicole D’Andrea: CEO/Designer

Nicole was inspired at a young age by the art of shoe making and repair. Her education began as she sat in awe of her grandfather laboring in his cobbler shop, a trade he brought to America from Italy. Nicole received precious cultural heri-tage, work ethic and design sensibility from both her grandparents and carries this into the d’andrea collection.Nicole’s technical knowledge was eagerly absorbed while working with prestigious fashion icons such as BCBG’s Max Azria and LD Tuttle. She also had the privilege of studying under Ars Suttoria of Milan after attending The International Academy of Design and Technology in Chicago. A practical application of these experiences allow her to realize an endeavor that was long romanticized: a collection of her own.

Steven D’Andrea: Chief Operating Officer

Steven leads the business operations and wholesale expansion of the brand. With a focus on sales and marketing, he plays an integral role in the growth and direction of d’andrea handbags. Steven’s dedicated work ethic is steeped in his early daysas a cadet at Norwich University. Whether behind the desk, or working in the field, Steven keeps a pulse on industry advancements and utilizes this in day-to-day operations. Drawing on a diverse background in market outreach and resource procurement, Steven applies his wealth of skills to develop the brand equity and strengthen the consumer base.
