Erin Biel’s Summary

I have been the president of Professional Case, Inc since 1997 and began with our family owned business in 1986. Professional Case is the only domestic manufacturer of the traditional leather doctor bag. We design and manufacturer over 100 variations of leather cases for the medical industry mainly under own brand, but also under private label. View our website at: www.professionalcase.com

In 2007 we began marketing a line of upscale handbags, folios and travel cases under the name of Designs by Paolo. Our flagship case, of course, is the Vintage Doc Style Handbag. This product is new and not yet widely recognized in the fashion industry. While we would like to maintain the uniqueness of our product concept, it is our goal to focus more attention on the marketing and branding of Designs by Paolo. In the past 2 years, we have attended many special venue events, to help create a buzz about our upscale leather bags. View our website at: www.designsbypaolo.com

I have worked alongside my husband, Paul, who is in charge of design, development and production. He brings so much creative talent, and energy that is highly visible in every product that we manufacture.

In our culture, I am so proud to say that it is still possible to produce items like doctor bags and handbags of the highest quality by skilled craftsman in the United States.
