11 Questions With Susan
NYC based designer Susan Korn is as playful, clever, warm, sparkly, and joyful in real life as her bags and jewelry are. Her vision shines through her kaleidoscope eyes, and she sprinkles her magic through each design and through her magical studio.
She’s just a girl from Ohio who made her dreams come true and gives her staff the chance to explore their deepest creativity, and her loyal following to experience the same joy she carries. In 2020 and beyond I couldn’t be happier to share this beautiful visionary that we all need right now. You can find all her goodies at susanalexandra.com.
