VeronaBlack – handbags, jewelry and more!

Verona Black is the brain child of designer, Danielle Gonzalez.

I am a one woman show. While my little one sleeps, I create pieces for Verona Black. I am the designer, maker, photographer, shipping dept, customer service, etc.. Everything seen for sale is lovingly handmade by me in my home studio in New York.

“Verona” is a small town where my grandparents lived in upstate New York. I feel that my creative ability derived from my grandmother who was constantly crafting.

I started off as a music major, playing bass guitar and singing in bands. I soon realized she enjoyed sewing more then strumming and started selling my creations. While slowly creating my small jewelry/handbag business, I discovered the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City where I currently hold a bachelors degree in accessory design.
