Lizz Russell was born and raised in sunny San Diego, CA. Always having a creative spirit and flare for fashion, she began to sew at the age of twelve and later refined her talents by studying Fashion Design at Mesa College in San Diego. She began her professional career designing evening wear and has since caught the eye of countless celebrities.

The ever-growing Lizz Russell Collection has expanded from evening wear to include her exclusive Rose Handbags and jewelry collections. Each Rose Handbag is hand-made and adorned with beautiful silk and satin flowers with exceptional attention-to-detail. They boast intricate patterns, vibrant colors and fashionably long shoulder strap chains or high-end, beaded, jeweled handles. Appropriately named after appetizing desserts like German Chocolate and Strawberry Shortcake, each handbag is unique and deliciously stylish!

More than a designer, Lizz Russell is a testament to the human spirit. In the midst of her career, Guillan Barre Syndrome (GBS) and Bells Palsy simultaneously attacked her body, but Lizz emerged triumphant and has continued in her career. She serves as an advocate for GBS survivors and their families through her numerous speaking engagements. She is the recipient of many accolades and rewards, including the Civic Leadership Award, for her contributions to the entertainment industry. Lizz Russell is an example of perseverance and success as a 21st century business woman.

Lizz Russell is a Certified Minority Business Enterprise with the San Diego Regional Minority Supplier Development Council.
