About Me

Hello and welcome to LOVE SHINE!
Founded in 1994 by Mark in the basement of a Spanish Harlem apartment building, Love Shine began life with hand painted canvas sewn together to make original bags for our friends. By 1997 we had so many orders we just HAD to open a boutique to serve the nation!
Love Shine is all about bringing unique pieces together to create a one of a kind collection. We specialize in bags made right in our East Village store. From quirky totes, day bags and laptop holders, to cute handbags and purses you are guaranteed to find something for you...and if there isn't one on the shelf, we may be able to make one for you!

At Love Shine we showcase a variety of art from all over the Americas - North, Central and South - and you will also find a range of housewear, t-shirts, ornaments, postcards and jewelry that you won't find anywhere else!
