Ana Vahey s love of handbags and love of Ireland led Ana to return to Ireland and start designing and making her own collection after working as a fashion designer for some well known design houses in Italy, London, and Hong Kong. In 2008 Anna launched her first collection of exclusive handmade leather bags under the label ANA FAYE using the finest Italian leather. The Label was called ANA FAYE in memory of the name, which Anna was christened. After her Fathers death and mothers remarriage this name was some how lost. Ana Faye Label was met with great recognition from very early on, Winning Best New Product at Showcase Ireland 2009 along with best Product in Fashion, Knitwear and Accessories Section.
