At Catholight, our passion stems from a shared devotion to God and a deep admiration for the saints who inspire us daily. Founded in 2021 by a group of Catholic women, we sought to create a line of bags that seamlessly melds faith and fashion—transforming everyday accessories into reminders of divine grace. Every design begins with our love for timeless Catholic artwork. We carefully select each image—from beloved saints to sacred symbols—to infuse hope, reverence, and beauty into every stitch. Whether you prefer a classic handbag, a modern satchel, or an elegant wallet, our diverse range ensures there’s a style for every woman who wishes to carry her faith wherever she goes. Committed to quality and ethical craftsmanship, we utilize a variety of leathers to suit every preference, from veganique (PU) leather to premium top-grain leather. Each bag undergoes meticulous creation, reflecting our dedication to excellence, sustainability, and heartfelt devotion. At Catholight, we believe our bags do more than simply hold belongings—they hold stories of faith, strength, and community. By wearing one of our designs, you join our mission to share inspiration and spread the message of God’s unconditional love. We’re honored to accompany you on this journey, and we can’t wait to see how our bags become a part of your own faith-filled story.

I ordered a purse and a purse wallet.
1. This website claims that these items are lovingly made by Catholic women. That is false. They are mass produced in China.
2. The products themselves had several defects in "workmanship." Bad stitching, inverted buckle, the printed design was stretched, ink stains, there are areas where the website show the product should have artwork, but they are actually, blank, and more
3. This chinese sweatshop garbage took 6 weeks from order date to arrive

St. Michael the Archangel Wallet
My first St. Michael wallet purchase came the other day, and I am very pleased with it, as it looks as beautiful as it did when I first chose it from the wonderful selection of wallets that are offered. It also arrived sooner than I had originally expected. My only concern is that it was delivered around 10:45 pm, and had been sitting outside my front door all night long. I am grateful that it was still there in the morning when I spotted it as I was leaving for early morning Mass.

Definitely would rethink this purchase
I was so excited to see these beautiful bags with images on them from our Catholic Faith! I asked my husband to buy one for me as a Mother's Day gift. He placed his order near the end of April, believing this company to be based in Colorado, as stated on their website. It in fact, may be in Colorado, but the bag I chose was dispatched from China. The bag didn't arrive until nearly the end of May. No gift for Mother's Day. The bag itself is not what I had hoped. The image is lovely- it's the blue Three Hearts bag, but the image is not a lovely deep blue but rather a more grayish blue color. I find the main zipper of the bag to be stiff and awkward to utilize. And, the size of the bag itself is larger than I had anticipated. I ordered the medium size and it's honestly more like a tote bag than a purse. I regret not choosing the small size instead. But, the issue that really sticks with me is that when I opened the package the bag arrived in, I was immediately hit with a chemical-floral scent of some kind. It hit me in the face kind of smell. When I turned my bag upside down, I discovered a small slip of paper that was stuck to the bottom of the bag, on the outside of the bag. It was kind of a gummy-kind of sticky. I peeled it off and discovered that was the cause of the smell. In addition, after I opened the bag, I found a dryer sheet- yep, a dryer sheet, about 2" wide nestled in the bottom of the bag on the inside. I was not, not, NOT happy about this. I ditched these types of chemicals and scents from my home well over ten years ago only to have them placed in a high-end bag that is brand new. I messaged customer service about the scent and the sticker and this was their response. It did not impress me. It seems this is their solution and that I just clean the bag and then, air it out. Not sure I'll be buying from them again. I fell in love with the design, but they are not honest in stating that these bags come from China and not really comprehending how bad these chemicals are the they're making people smell when buying a bag from them. To be clear, as a gift, they did give me a 25% off code to use on a future purchase. Their response:
To explain a bit: because our leather bags are freshly produced and packed after assembly, they may carry a new leather scent that some customers find strong. To minimize this, we’ve recently included a lightly scented paper inside the bag—our intention was to create a more pleasant unboxing experience. However, we now see that this choice may not work for everyone, especially if you're sensitive to floral or chemical scents. We’re very sorry it impacted your experience.
To help, here are two simple steps you can try:
To remove sticky residue: gently wipe the area using a small amount of olive oil or baby oil on a soft cloth. Let it sit for a minute, then wipe again with a clean cloth. Avoid scrubbing, as that could affect the finish.
To reduce the smell: leave the bag open in a well-ventilated area for 1–2 days. You can also place a small bowl of baking soda or coffee grounds nearby to help absorb lingering odors.

Hi Beth,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. We truly appreciate it — even though your experience was far from ideal, your feedback helps us improve in ways we can’t without hearing directly from customers like you.
We’re sincerely sorry to hear that your Mother’s Day gift didn’t arrive on time and that the bag didn’t meet your expectations in several important ways — from the color tone and size, to the strong scent and the way the item was packed. That’s not the kind of experience we ever want to deliver, especially when a customer is looking forward to a meaningful gift connected to their faith.
Regarding the scent and the sticker: this is something we introduced in an attempt to improve the unboxing experience for most customers, but we completely recognize that it was not the right approach for everyone, especially for those, like yourself, who are sensitive to scents or avoid synthetic chemicals in your home. We’ve taken your feedback to heart and are actively working with our production team to revisit and revise this process moving forward.
We also hear you on the transparency of our shipping origin. While we are based in the U.S. and have fulfillment operations both in the U.S. and overseas, we understand how frustrating it can be to discover after ordering that a product is shipping from China, especially when expectations are different. We’ll continue to look at how we can better clarify this in our communication so customers know exactly what to expect.
Finally, we’re grateful that you acknowledged the beauty of the image and the heartfelt intent behind the design. It means a lot to us, and we’re truly sorry that your overall experience didn’t reflect the care we aim to put into every piece.
We’ve passed this on to our team as a priority case, and you’re welcome to continue the conversation with us via email if there’s anything more we can do to make things right. Thank you again for your honesty and for giving us the chance to do better.
Best regards,
RS

Tracking says handbags were delivered, but they were never received.
The first time I purchased a handbag a few months ago, I did receive the bag within a month or so. However my mother and I both placed separate orders at the same time a few weeks ago on May 13, 2025 and though the tracking says they were delivered, they were never received. I’ve tried multiple times to reach Amelia and Olivia via email to no avail and also no one answers the telephone number listed on the website. I will be disputing this with American Express and my mother will be disputing it with her bank. Extremely disappointing.
