Georgia Business Radio Interviewing Industry Leaders Throughout Georgia

Pro Business Talk Radio! Interviews are in Studio!

Leslie Deets/Concealed Carrie

Founder/CEO

“To become more familiar and comfortable with firearms, I attended a ladies’ defensive handgun class, and later a concealed carry class. In both cases, I was struck by the women who came to class wearing holsters strapped to their bodies or toting less desirable military-style concealed carry bags that were far from feminine. So, being the self-proclaimed fashionista I am, I studied the current trends in women’s high-end handbags and concluded that demand would be high for a concealed carry option that offered the utmost in both style and quality of material.”

With function and fashion in mind, Concealed Carrie developed and designed the entire collection of handbags with practical features that include a separate concealed carry compartment that securely conceals the handgun in a safe yet accessible manner. Removable and adjustable holsters are included and allows users to adapt to their personal preference and directional draw. Several styles also offer a cross-body solution with the use of a removable and adjustable shoulder strap. All of the concealed carry purses include a Concealed Carrie key chain and distinctive fashion tassel.

While all that function is essential, what has already made the Concealed Carrie line so immediately popular with women is our attention to fashion and detail. The rich, all-leather styles of the Classic Carrie line include Ostrich Print and Smooth Computer Carry Alls, fashion-forward Crocodile Print Leather Hobo, Smooth Leather totes, versatile Classic Clutch, Crossbody Compacts, Compacts to “grab and go,” and our most popular, Aged Brown and Aged Black Leather Satchels. The new Casual Carrie line includes a contemporary Color Block Satchel, Spice and Turquoise Crossbody Compacts and Mustard Compact Carrie.

Concealed Carrie will continue to introduce new styles and colors for their valued customers and plans to design new lines of products in the near future. “Why should women be forced to compromise fashion for function?”

There is a new girl in town and with the introduction of Concealed Carrie, the market for women’s firearms accessories and concealed carry options will never be the same!

President

A graduate of the Hospitality School at Cornell University, Federico Castellucci has worked in the restaurant business his entire life. During his tenure at Cornell, Federico helped create and develop the original Sugo in Roswell. He grew the concept to four locations including three franchises. After graduating in 2007, Federico took over a failed franchise location that is currently Sugo in Johns Creek, Ga. Federico worked tirelessly to re-establish the brand, and within a year and a half the restaurant had become the most successful restaurant his family had ever owned in Georgia.

Building on that success, Federico created a new restaurant concept from scratch in downtown Decatur called The Iberian Pig. A modern Spanish restaurant with a strong focus on imported Spanish cured meats, fresh local produce, creative tapas dishes, wines of the region and classic cocktails, The Iberian Pig has been a hit from opening night in late 2009.

Following the success of The Iberian Pig, Federico embarked on two more projects in 2011 and 2014. Located on Roswell Road near I-285, Double Zero Napoletana opened in May 2011, bringing the regional cuisine of Campania in Southern Italy to Sandy Springs, Ga. The menu features handmade pasta, traditional Neapolitan pizza, handmade pastries and gelato, as well as contemporary takes on classic Southern Italian dishes. In November 2014, Federico opened Cooks & Soldiers, a Basque-inspired concept located in West Midtown, featuring traditional pintxos, raciones, asador and desserts influenced by the signature cooking methods of the region.

Federico currently serves as president of Castellucci Hospitality Group, the management company that he created in 2010, which includes Sugo, The Iberian Pig, Double Zero Napoletana and Cooks & Soldiers.
