What to know about Senreve
One bag, satchel to backpack
The signature Maestra is a structured Italian-made satchel that converts to a backpack and holds a laptop, with the Aria belt bag and Doctor bag alongside it.
Designed from survey data
Founders Coral Chung and Wendy Wen used consumer surveys and data to shape the line around what working women said they needed to carry.
Venture-funded, sold direct online
A $16.75 million Series A led by Norwest backs a largely direct-to-consumer model, so high-tier Italian leather goods skip the department-store markup.
