About Anne Cate

Anne Cate began in 2016 as a simple idea, when owner Anne Johnson created pillows featuring her favorite city skylines to decorate her Kent State dorm room. With a passion for sewing and the realization that every place holds a unique meaning for each person, this vision grew into a thriving business. Anne Cate is a cut-and-sew, Made in America accessories brand and manufacturer specializing in skyline purses and customizable gifts. We make bags that represent the moments your customers carry close to their hearts—a beloved city, a favorite team, or a special memory. Our products are more than just a purse or pillow: they tell a story that is uniquely yours. Whether it’s honoring a hometown, celebrating travel, or turning everyday moments into a meaningful keepsake, that story is captured with Anne Cate. Finally—a souvenir that isn’t ugly. Anne Cate is woman-owned (WBENC certified) and proudly made in America. Every product is designed, cut, and sewn at our Cleveland, Ohio manufacturing studio and features seam-to-seam construction. At Anne Cate, we offer full custom cut-and-sew accessory production. As our own manufacturer, we bring your vision to life—whether through a custom illustration, a new city skyline, a branded accessory, or a design of your own. Customize our signature skyline design to highlight your favorite city, or opt for a fully custom design without a skyline. The sky(line)'s the limit.Read their story
