ADA Collection Online Store

ADA Collection is a California-based label with high-end appeal to contemporary and sophisticated style. Its rich and buttery leathers, functional details and unique shapes appeal to celebrities and fashionable women of all ages. Polish-born founder Ada Komorniczak, now California-based, is a self-taught, versatile designer who looks to create more than just accessories. Her handbags and accessories use multi- textured leathers, eye-grabbing patterns and subtle hardware that provide customers with functionality and versatility. Inspired by women close to her, Ada creates lightweight pieces for every occasion that broadcast an effortless chic. As far back as Ada can remember, she has always been interested in fashion. While she earned an International Law & Society degree in college as well as a Masters degree in Business, she came to realize that she had a natural talent for design and wanted to pursue her own project. During her two years of travel through Europe and South America, Ada lived for a time in Argentina, where she came into contact with a type of leather she had never seen before. The unique textures, colors and finishes in combination with the work of truly talented craftsmen inspired Ada to begin her creative process. Coincidentally, while falling in love with the countries' classic elegant fashion and lush leathers, she also fell in love with her business partner and now husband, Gaston Deferrari. Gaston was the final piece to the puzzle - his savvy knowledge, business foresight, and general optimism was the push Ada needed to finalize her collection and begin building what is today, ADA Collection. Combining Gaston's forward-thinking entrepreneurship and Ada's passion for design, the first collection hit California boutiques in Fall 2004. Since then, the collection has grown quickly and each season can be found in over 1000 retail stores across the world; including in the United States, Paris, New York, Tokyo, London, Sydney and Dubai. The collection continues to be featured in fashion publications, including Vogue, Marie Claire, Glamour, Lucky, Oprah, InStyle People StyleWatch and WWD. In addition, ADA designs have recently captured the attention of Hollywood celebrities, from Heidi Klum in her daily wardrobe to Giuliana Rancic host of E! News. However, Ada has made the commitment to show women that you don't have to be a professional model to wear a design from the ADA Collection - even if the professional models and actresses want to join you! In 2007, from incredible demand, ADA launched its line of belts, wallets and small leather accessories to accompany the popular handbag collection. The ADA brand today has grown in its accessory collection to now include a hand-made designer jewelry line. Regardless of the rapid growth of the line, the company is proud to continue having all products handcrafted by highly skilled professionals who, using local Argentinean leathers, understand quality and are dedicated to creating the finest handbags and accessories.
