THE BRAND
At Nora’s Knotique, every knot tells a story. Based in Jacksonville, Florida, our boutique is dedicated to creating handmade, one-of-a-kind bags and purses that celebrate individuality and love. Each piece is thoughtfully designed by founder Nora Santiago, whose passion for art and creativity has been a lifelong journey.
​
What started as a simple pastime creating handbags with flair—soon blossomed into something special. Friends and family began to notice Nora’s creations, and their encouragement inspired her to share her work with the world. Every bag feels like it was made just for you—thoughtful, personal, and full of heart. From the textures you love to the colors that speak to you, each piece from Nora’s Knotique is crafted with intention and a touch of joy.
​
“Life is full of tiny moments, some joyful, some challenging. For me, creating is a form of therapy. Each project is infused with love and prayers. If I can create something that brings a smile to someone’s face, then it’s truly a happy moment.”
- Nora Santiago​
