Our Story
How It All Began
We didn't just want a wine bag. We wanted the bag.
Handté was born from a simple but powerful idea — why couldn't a wine bag be beautiful, functional, and stylish all at once? Something you'd actually be excited to grab on your way out the door. Something that carried your wine, your snacks, and your essentials without sacrificing an ounce of style.
That question started a journey — one that took years of dreaming, designing, and refining until every detail was exactly right. And in February 2026, Handté officially came to life.
The Founders
A shared vision. A shared dream.
Hi, I'm Shaunté Hand — founder and creative director of Handté. The name says it all — a combination of my first and last name, poured into every stitch, every detail, and every decision that makes this bag what it is.
But Handté has never been just my story. My husband Brian is the rock this brand is built on. While I lead the creative vision — the design, the brand, the feeling — Brian is right beside me building the foundation that makes it all possible. He is just as much a part of this company as I am, and Handté wouldn't exist without him.
We are a small business with big dreams — and we believe those dreams are worth every late night, every detail, and every ounce of effort we've put into making Handté everything we imagined it could be.
“We poured years into the making of this product and brand to make sure it was everything we dreamed of.”

A New Chapter
Building a brand and a family.
Launching Handté has been one of the greatest adventures of my life — and it happened right alongside another one. In November 2025 Brian and I welcomed our baby boy into the world, and suddenly everything we were building felt even more meaningful.
Being a new mom and a business owner at the same time is not easy — but it is the most rewarding thing I have ever done. Every order, every detail, every late night working on this brand while my little one sleeps is a reminder of why we started. We are building something that matters. Something that lasts. Something our son can be proud of one day.
Handté is more than a bag. It's proof that with passion, purpose, and the right person by your side — you can build anything. ♥
What We Love
Wine, community, and good memories.
A Love of Wine
From a bold Cabernet Sauvignon to a crisp dry Rosé in summer — we believe the right wine makes every moment better. Handté was made to carry those moments with you.
An Outdoor Lifestyle
We are California born and outdoor living. Picnics, beaches, vineyards, and parks — this is where we come alive. Handté was designed for every beautiful moment that happens outside four walls.
Purpose
As Jesus followers we believe in giving back. Each year we donate a portion of our proceeds to a charity we care deeply about. Because the fruits of our labor should always be shared.
Small Business. Big Dreams.
We hope Handté brings people together.
At the end of the day Handté is about more than a bag. It's about the moments that happen when you unpack it — the laughter around a picnic blanket, the sunset shared with someone you love, the memories made over good wine and even better company.
We are a small business with big dreams. We launched in February 2026 after years of pouring everything we had into this brand — and we are just getting started. We hope that every time you reach for your Handté bag it reminds you to slow down, be present, and enjoy the moment you're in.
Thank you for being part of our story. ♥
