Bessie Designs by Carolena Nericcio

I created Bessie Design in honor of my mother, Bess Nericcio. She was a librarian, interested in everyone she met, my biggest supporter, and my greatest critic. Anyone that met her felt as if they had made a friend. I owe her the world and this brand is my endeavor to keep her in everyone’s hearts.
