About Us

North Lauderdale Was Built for Families — Artbag Serves Them All

North Lauderdale has an origin story unlike any other city in Broward County. When the land was ready for development in the 1960s, the developer brought in Morris Lapidus — the legendary architect behind the Fontainebleau Resort, the Eden Roc, and the glamour of Miami Beach — to design the city’s layout. Lapidus built those iconic hotels for the rich and famous. He designed North Lauderdale for everyone else. The city grew through the 1970s as thousands of families chased the Florida sun and found an affordable, well-planned community to call home. Today that spirit still defines it — a city built not on wealth, but on family, community, and the belief that good things are worth having.

That conviction extends to how residents treat what they own. A designer handbag in North Lauderdale — a Louis Vuitton saved for over years, a Gucci gifted for a milestone, a vintage piece inherited from family — is not taken lightly. When it needs care, it deserves a real specialist. Artbag serves North Lauderdale from our Coral Springs workshop at 927 N. University Drive, approximately 10–15 minutes east via Kimberly Boulevard or Sample Road.

Why North Lauderdale's Tropical Climate Is Hard on Luxury Leather

North Lauderdale carries a tropical rainforest climate — one of the most humid classifications in the continental United States. For the Caribbean-rooted families who make up a significant part of the population, this climate mirrors what they know from home: warm, wet, and relentless. Year-round humidity peaking at 85–90% through summer creates conditions for mold inside stored bags, leather stiffening, and hardware corrosion. Florida’s UV intensity bleaches leather faster than virtually any other climate. Hurricane season, June through November, adds flooding and rapid humidity swings. A bag stored through a South Florida summer faces real damage — and professional care is the only reliable defense.
