Handbags

Each Laga handbag is handmade in the province of Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia. The wonderfully creative hand-guided embroidery patterns, having been passed down through the generations and derived from traditional patterns, are indigenous to this area, and are enhanced and refined to offer exceptional quality and value. Thus offering a new contemporary flare without compromising authenticity.

Laga handbags are sewn on pedal-driven, non-electric treadle machines which make each Laga handbag a truly unique piece of historical art. Each handbag is delightfully distinctive, totally unique in style and functionality, and is considered a piece of art as artisans commit the patterns to memory and provide their individual touch.

Laga handbags are available in various styles, sizes and color combinations and have been given Indonesian names that depict an aspect of hope after the tragic devastation that led to the formation of Laga: “Damai” (peace), “Sehat” (healthy), “Percaya” (believe), “Pagi” (morning). Each are made from a nylon polyester blend material with a poly-urethane backing which creates a formed style. Laga uses the highest quality cotton embroidery thread and luxurious silk satin material for the lining. Original, creative, authentic and appealing, Laga handbags are a great avenue through which we are able to provide hope for a better future for those less fortunate.
