About Us
Plantation is one of Broward County’s most deliberately built cities. When developers laid out the Jacaranda community in western Plantation in the 1960s, their stated ambition was to create an equivalent to Coral Gables — a city defined by planning, proportion, and lasting quality. Today that intention shows in every aspect of Plantation life: the 850-acre Plantation Midtown business district, the 42 parks and 6 golf courses woven into the city’s layout, the well-maintained streets, the community of professionals from Motorola Solutions, Aetna, and TradeStation who chose to build their lives here. Plantation residents tend to have high standards — for their homes, their work, and what they own.
Artbag was built on the same conviction. Founded in New York City in 1932 and operating continuously for over 90 years, we exist because a craftsman — Hillel Tenenbaum — believed that luxury handbags deserved expert care, not shortcuts. Our Coral Springs workshop at 927 N. University Drive is approximately 20 minutes north via University Drive or I-595, placing Artbag well within reach of Plantation’s professionals and families.

Significantly. Plantation’s high annual rainfall and subtropical humidity create persistent mold conditions inside stored bags, leather stiffening, and hardware corrosion. We recommend professional cleaning and conditioning every 6–12 months for bags stored in South Florida — and an immediate consultation if you notice musty odor, surface stiffness, or discoloration. Artbag has specialized protocols for humidity damage built specifically for this climate.
