Laga handbags are handmade in Aceh, Indonesia by women who survived the tsunami that took the lives of over 285,000 people.
Our handbags are sewn on pedal-driven, non-electric treadle machines. Each bag is embroidered with hand-guided patterns that
have been passed through the generations and are indigenous to this area. Each handbag is a unique piece of historical art.
These beautiful handbags have been given Indonesian names that depict hope after the tsunami: “Damai” (peace), “Sehat” (healthy), “Percaya” (believe)...
Each handbag is made from nylon polyester fabric and stitched with nylon polyester thread so your
Laga Handbag is water and stain resistant and lined with luxurious silk satin lining.
Creative, authentic and attractive, each handbag sewn and sold provides renewed hope for a better tomorrow.
