Rachel Carpenter

At Mayflower Design, being a 'Charleston Maker' means blending Lowcountry inspiration with sustainable innovation. I handcraft a unique collection of eco-friendly bags and accessories—including everyday sling bags, crossbodies, laptop sleeves, and large totes—crafted from premium, sustainably sourced cork and organic fabrics.

​What makes each piece truly special are my exclusive prints that celebrate our regional identity, featuring local landmarks like Rainbow Row, floral motifs, pineapples, and sweet tea. Whether connecting with locals at the Charleston City Night Market, 2nd Sunday on King Street or designing in my studio, my goal is to create functional, beautiful pieces that let you carry a piece of the Lowcountry with you, sustainably.
