LAGA Handbag

handbags-banner.jpg

 

Laga handbags are handmade in Aceh, Indonesia by women who survived the tsunami. The wonderfully creative hand-guided embroidery patterns have been passed down through the generations and are indigenous to this area. 

Laga handbags are sewn on pedal-driven, non-electric treadle machines which makes each handbag a unique piece of historical art. 

These beautiful handbags have been given Indonesian names that depict an aspect of hope after the devastation of the tsunami: “Damai” (peace), “Sehat” (healthy), “Percaya” (believe), “Pagi” (morning). 

Each handbag is made from nylon polyester blend material with the highest quality cotton embroidery thread and luxurious silk satin lining. 

Original, creative, authentic and attractive, each handbag sold provides renewed hope for a better tomorrow.
