Have you been searching for the perfect bag that reflects your unique style and provides long lasting value?

MAD Bags provides a one-of-a-kind designer bags that reflect your personal style.

My name is Mary Alice Divita (MAD).  I am the owner and creator of MAD Bags.  MAD Bags is an online boutique, based in North Texas, that designs and builds small batch, as well as custom handbags, wallets and travel bags.

Each item is carefully handcrafted utilizing quality processes and materials to ensure you won’t have to replace your bag anytime soon.

I utilize a colorful variety of textiles to create visually interesting and stylish designs difficult to find in mass produced products.

Meet My Team

This is Shiner.  In 2019, I participated in a holiday market in Fort Worth.  The Humane Society was there facilitating adoptions for animals needing good homes.  The show was a win-win for me.  I sold a few bags, and brought home this handsome guy.

Other than Shiner’s supervision, all my bags and wallets are handmade by me in my home studio.  I have been sewing and selling bags for over 5 years, and I devote the necessary time and skill to impart outstanding craftsmanship into each and every bag that I make.

We’re all MAD here!

The name of MAD Bags was inspired by my initials, together with the belief that the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland was correct, “We’re all mad here”.

I believe that every person is unique in their own way, and life is better when we celebrate and reflect those things that make us different.  I am passionate about creating MAD Bags that allow you to express yourself and your MAD style.

If you’re always trying to be normal, you’ll never know how amazing you can be.

I love tackling new projects.  I hope  you’ll contact me with any special requests so I can make something just for you.

Empowering joyful, confident, resilient women

Raising 3 daughters and working in a male-dominated career for over 20 years prior to starting MAD Bags has taught me that capable, resilient women drive the world to be a better place.  To support that belief, a portion of all MAD Bags proceeds is donated to charities dedicated to the empowerment of girls and women.

If you would like to suggest worthy charities for future contributions, please contact me at mary@madbagsdesign.com.

For 2023, MAD Bags has selected Girls Inc. Their focus, as defined on their website, is shown below.

Girls Inc. inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold, through direct service and advocacy.  In partnership with schools and at Girls Inc. centers, we focus on the development of the whole girl. She learns to value herself, take risks, and discover and develop her inherent strengths. The combination of long-lasting mentoring relationships, a pro-girl environment, and evidence-based programming equips girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers, and grow up healthy, educated, and independent.
