Designer Janice Serilla
and her little monster,
Finn McCool
Janice Serilla is the designer behind her Santa Cruz, California based
business, Mackerilla Design.
She started designing and creating Mackerilla brand bags in 2001.
lt all began because a former employer was going to toss out a bunch
of new fabric "leftovers." These fabrics would all have ended up in
the local landfill.
Janice decided to take the upholstery fabrics home and make some use
of them. She made a simple backpack for herself to use while out riding
on her Cruiser bike. Little did Janice know at that time that she
had just created her first of many, "Cruzer" backpacks. She would
then follow up with more design styles, by listening to what women
wanted and needed in carrying an every day functional bag. The "Mackerilla"
brand name was then created by combining her husbands and her last
name together. Mackerilla Design was then born!
WORKING TO HELP SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT
At Mackerilla Design, our goal is to use high quality fabrics and
create a bag at an affordable price for our customers. We utilize
high end durable fabrics from upholstery manufacturers and furniture
designers. These fabrics acquired, are called "Bolt Ends", which are
their unused yardage left over from completed projects. This means
that our fabrics are limited and are subject to change. Most of these
fabrics are Italian made and are water resistant or washable wool
blends. These wonderful fabrics would possibly end up being tossed
out or dumped into a storage facility where they would be lost forever!
Mackerilla Design wants to do its part in saving our environment by
utilizing these quality fabrics. By doing this, we also have created
a desire by our customers to own more than one bag due to our limited
fabric choices and the high quality of these fabrics. It gives Mackerilla
customers their bragging rights about the fabric that they chose is
not owned by everyone. So every Mackerilla bag owner can feel a bit
special!

ASSORTMENT OF FABRICS
Most of our wholesale orders are sent out in an assortment of fabrics to our clients. But you may also request fabric samples and choose which patterns suits your shop best. Due to our limited yardage, you will be asked to choose a secondary fabric in case we run out of your first choice.
ORDERABLE FABRICS
We do have fabric samples from other manufacturers that we can order and reorder for specific customer needs. You may inquire about these fabrics to receive samples and available quantities.
CUSTOM DESIGNS
Sometimes our customers have specific bag needs. We can design and create an exclusive "Mackerilla" bag for your shop. Please contact us for design services, pricing and fabrics.
MADE IN SANTA CRUZ
Mackerilla bags are all handmade in Santa Cruz, CA
by our team of local seamstress's. Each bag is made with care and inspected
for quality. We stand behind our bags 100%
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Mackerilla brand bags are not to be dry cleaned due to the vinyl backing of our interior PVC liner fabric. They are washable in cold water on a gentle cycle then shaped and air dryed. They can be spot cleaned as well.
