Undra and Shekima, Cousin & Co.
Cousins Undra and Shekima began making handbags for themselves, but after many request from friends and strangers they decided to turn their passion into a business. The Tory Burch Foundation and ACCION USA provided the loan they needed to produce samples and launch their line. Four years later, Brooklyn-based Cousins & Co. offer stylish handbags from clutches to weekend getaway bags.
