Thank you for bringing these bags to the U.S."

"I get SO many compliments and tell everyone who asks about you guys and to look you up, I really hope some of them have. That purse is so functional and has held up to daily wear and tear and still, amazingly looks bright and new."
--Marg Detkin, CA

"I just got back from a trip to Chicago and Boston and carried your tote in black and white. Everywhere I went people stopped me and asked about the bag . I cannot tell you how many times I wrote the name "Laga" down. It was fun and I so hope it helps you ... I also want to give it as a present... By the way, I just made this connection in re-reading about your company. My daughter's elementary school sent toys, art supplies and a truck load of clothes to an orphanage to Aceh when the tsunami hit. Thank you!"
--Liz Nankin, CA

"I wanted to thank you for the little bag, I treasure it so. It's just beautiful. I've been telling everyone I know about the bags. I hope to see you at another show soon."

"I got the bag. I LOVE IT. It is perfect and just what I wanted... Thank you so much. I'm thinking of going exclusive with Laga Bags as my ONLY brand of purses."

"I walked into the large Shoe Market store in Greensboro and as the saleswoman was directing me to her new shoe and bag section, I turned around and walked away from her toward the area with 8 of your [Laga] bags on display. I was amazed at the beauty, handwork, and then read the story. I will now carry my large brown/cream piece of art with pride. I will tell your story and direct others to this site. Thank you for your vision and for helping me work to empower women and girls."
--Sandy Doyle-Jones, Greensboro, NC

"Knowing that I was going on a 20-day trip to China and Tibet, I was looking for a backpack that I'd be able to use instead of carrying a handbag. I saw the story in the OC Register several months ago, loved what you're doing with the people of Aceh, saw the backpack on the website and bought one. I had no idea how well it was constructed or how long it would hold up. All I knew was it was a great looking bag.

"I must tell you, I put that backpack through very hard use, in pouring rain, on and off my back hundreds of times over several weeks and it still looks brand new. No wear and tear on it at all!!

"The day we climbed to the top of the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, it was pouring down rain. We had to show our passport to enter, so I wrapped it in plastic just to make sure the rain wouldn't seep through and get it wet. Not only is it a beautiful bag, it's also waterproof!!

"I've had lots and lots of compliments on the backpack and everytime I tell people the story of where they're made and I give them the website so they can buy one for themselves. I can't tell you how happy I am with that backpack!!

"One other thing, I went to Rooten's (on Main Street in Santa Ana) to buy some last minute things before leaving for China. Two people who work in the store and two customers complimented me on the backpack and asked where I got it. Of course I told them the story. Since Rooten's is a luggage and travel store and they carry all kinds of backpacks, I suggested that they talk to the manager and have some brought in. I'm sure they'd sell well.

"Thanks again. I'm so incredibly pleased with my backpack and would recommend it to everyone!"
--Dori Augustine, Chino Hills, CA

"I just wanted to let you know I continue to get compliments on the Laga bag I have and when asked about it go into all the wonderful details and what a great cause it is. I was wondering if you would feel it appropriate to send me a few of the written details about Laga and that way when strangers come up to me I can give them one with the hope they will go on line and order a Laga bag!!! In the past folks have written the info down on a piece of paper and I'm not sure that it's enough info for them to follow through. It's such a wonderful cause. Let me know if you think this will help.
--Fiona Ryder, Charlton, MA

"I just read about your handbags in the Sat. Sept. 6th Register. They're fabulous! We are also Saddleback Church members and I think this is such a wonderful endeavor. I was wondering if you have contacted Oprah regarding her "Favorite Things Show". I bet she would love these bags and the cause! Best Wishes for your continuing success!"
--Mary Jo Cullum, Orange County, CA

"I wanted to thank you for the lovely Laga bag you sent me. I received it last week. What a generous and thoughtful company you have. I will tell others about you and I hope you will continue to prosper."
--Lori Lott (lucky drawing winner), Martinez, CA

"I received the Laga bags just in time for the wedding. I chose the Rose bag. I love it... Again, thank you so much for your wonderful customer service and my beautiful new bag. I love knowing I am helping other women around the world."
--Cindy Schultz

"One of the people who got a purse at my Laga party was Debbie. She had been seeing my, Leslie's and other Laga purses around the school and she fell in love with them. She has been getting tons of compliments on her Laga purse and today got a contact for you at a local museum where they want to sell your Laga purses at a special event that is coming up and perhaps the gift shop. She has gotten so many compliments... maybe I should take a small inventory to sell for you because I get so many compliments on mine as well!"
--Lisa Miller, Long Beach, CA

"It was nice to see you again…and add another piece to my Laga Collection."

"I would like to order the Pagi Large dark blue/cream bag when it comes available. I will show off my Laga bag at work. ...I was very impressed when I saw your booth at the Dutch Festival in Long Beach! I will come back again!"
--Catharina Eskes, Costa Mesa, CA

"I have carried a Laga bag for some time now, and I must say that I've been a walking advertisement! I can't tell you how many times women have approached me asking where they could get such a great purse (I need to carry a stack of your business cards with me). In fact, I met one of your models, Tami Galloway, at an Irvine Chamber Mixer and we just so happened to be carrying Laga bags with the same design and color. I commend you and your husband for the great work you've done in bringing these wonderful bags to the US and the outstanding help you have offered those suffering in Indonesia."

"I just discovered your beautiful, unique and meaningful handbags this afternoon while browsing a magazine... I've been looking at all the designer bags and was just thinking how I wish there was a bag I could carry that would help someone else and my wish came true when I read about Laga on your website. Thank you and please pass on my thanks to the artists who create these very special bags. I can't wait to have one to call my own."
I Found You At: "I was reading in the Fall fashion issue of The Boston Globe Magazine about a Massachusetts boutique that carried Laga bags. I was intriqued so I researched Laga more on the Internet."
--Love, Christine :)

"Thank you so much for your prompt and thorough response. Sounds like I can indeed feel good about purchasing Laga bags and sending my friends to your website! My daughter went off this morning to an all-day event with her little Laga handbag in hand. I look forward to choosing a Laga bag for myself. Keep up the good work and God bless."
--Kathy Basile, Pennsylvania

"I love my new Laga Bag!! It is so easy to find things, I really love it! I'll let Kels know when would be a good time to host a party."
--Debbie Savage, Placentia, CA

"I saw my first Laga bag and I was in love. I had to have a bag and would do anything to get one. Within days I contacted Louise and she responded immediately and openly invited me into her home and showroom to introduce these amazing pieces of art. She and her husband showed me how passionate they are about helping people in need and that is when I knew there was something special with Laga bags.
"Not only are these bags intricately handcrafted and unique, but they are made from the heart and each purchase made goes towards helping make one area of the world a better place. I truly feel by giving something you get something in return. With this purchase you not only get an amazing piece of work, but you get a feeling of completion knowing your helping the people of Aceh province in Indonesia rebuild their lives."
--Nicole Sirote, Long Beach, CA

"I have purchased several of these bags. I also have Bottega, Gucci, Coach, YSL, Prada, Louis Vuitton, etc. I have received more compliments on my Laga bags than all my other bags combined. It's the, "OMG, where did you find that? I love it". And the best thing is that it helps the unfortunate victims of the devastating tsunami."

"I bought a Laga purse at the GSPC Spring Luncheon, also was the proud recipient of your raffle drawing. Thank you so much for the worthwhile work that you are doing, providing opportunities for the disadvantaged and also providing such beautiful products. I'll try to host a party maybe in early summer."
--Judy Fouts, Seal Beach, CA

"I think that your handbags are amazing! They help a great cause and look fabulous as well. I'm trying to turn more people onto your handbags because I stand for the cause. Thanks so much for all that Laga Designs is doing!

"I have shared your story with many of my friends. I actually forwarded your email to a list of Virginia Tech friends. I also emailed the Oprah Show and the Ellen Degeneres Show on your behalf. Just asking them to take a look at your website and possibly promote your products. You never know until you ask, 50/50 chance."
