Laga Handbags > TITLE

"...(the Damai) is absolutely beautiful. I'm carrying the information about your Laga handbags in my handbag. I'm hoping to drum up some interest as people see it. What beautiful work!"
--Chris Dimeglio, North Carolina

"My sister in law loved her Laga handbag. But she loved the story behind what it represented even more."
--Malinda Hanania, Buena Park, CA

""My Laga bag is gorgeous and I have received a lot of comments about it at work."
--Sharon Horras

"I saw your site on the Home party plan network. It was one of the best sites I have ever seen. I love the purses they are so beautiful!!!"
--Jana Stanton, Winter Park, FL

"Thank you so much! ...I'd love either a brown/cream or black/cream backpack. They're all so beautiful that any color would make me happy, actually. It's the art of the embroidery that makes the bags so special. When I was young, I learned to sew on a treadle sewing machine, so I can appreciate the true skill and artistry that the Aceh women display in their work."
--Jan Littlefield, Denver, CO

"I LOVE my Laga bag! I am impressed by the quality, as I am a little rough on my bags....but my Laga is as perfect as the day I bought it. I use it everyday... I have had plenty of others admire the bag... I will keep you in mind for [a party] sometime in the future. For now, I am referring people to your website. I won't forget about you....:)"
--Maggie Limbaugh, Santa Clarita, CA

"It's been about 4 months since I bought my Laga bag and it still looks brand new despite being carried everyday! I just love it and I've received tons of compliments on it. Everytime someone compliments the bag I tell them the story of Laga Handbags. Thank you for such a beautiful and meaningful product!"
--Jennifer Songster

"Oh my gosh, I love my handbag and get compliments on it EVERYWHERE I go!"
--Mary Bennett, Lakewood, CA

"OMG I love my Laga bag SO much. Everywhere I go I get compliments on my bag, and I always tell people how much I love it, and where they can go to get it. I don't think I will ever own a different bag other than Laga again!!!"
--Kristina Bradford, Salt Lake City, UT

"I'm so sorry! I got so excited about finally being able to order one of your bags that I forgot to put my color choice in the comments field. I ordered the Damai and I would like it in black/cream, please. My mom just received the backpack she ordered and is over the moon about it!"
--Tamara Jackson, Chesapeake, VT

"I already own two Laga bags and have given two as gifts. Everyone adores them!"
--Cheryl Posner, CA

"...I get sooooooooooooo many compliments on my Laga purse and I advertise for it often. I even send people to the website..."
--Eelan Coffey, Corona, CA

--Linda Hines, Long Beach, CA

"It was SO great meeting you - you are truly an amazing person. I really admire all you and your husband are doing. Your handbags are unbelievably beautiful. I looked at your website, which is fabulous, but I must say that no picture can do your handbags justice. They really need to be seen to be fully appreciated."
--Kris Mangano, Beverly Hills, CA

I'm looking forward to carrying it around LA and telling people where to get theres when they ask about it! I'm now saving for my next purchase (the Laga back pack or a travel bag)! Thank you again so much."
--Rae Sowell, Los Angeles, CA

“I have really enjoyed my Laga handbag. I have not used another since I received this one, and it is really wearing very nicely. I am pretty hard on handbags, stuffing all sorts of kid stuff in it, and am very pleased at it’s endurance.”
--Anna Teats, Mission Viejo, CA

“Just wanted to let you know that I received my Laga purse on Friday and I'm already enjoying it. It has much more room in it than I remembered. Thank you for rushing it out to me.”
--Josie Aragon, Long Beach, CA

""I ran into a woman at Nordstrom the other day. I told her that I admired her "Laga" bag... How's that for a small world? Your Laga bags are making the rounds!"
--Genine Keene, La Quinta, CA

“It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday… I love my Laga purse! I've already had 3 compliments on how beautiful it is.”
--Eileen Gonzalez, Mission Viejo, CA

"I saw your article in today's Register and I think what you are doing is simply beautiful and inspiring. I am not a big "purse" girl, mostly because every bag I see is a replica of something else I've seen but with a different designer brand on it. I honestly love bags with culture... Also because I knew the people profiting from my purchase deserved it and needed it more than a giant corporation. So in seeing your Laga bags in this article was amazing. They are simply gorgeous... Thank you and keep up the good work."
--Laura Rangel, Orange County

"I recieved two compliments on my Laga bag just today! Right now I'm too busy to throw a handbag party, but I am referring everyone to your website. If you get any bites from Santa Clarita, they're probably from me!"
--Maggie Limbaugh, Santa Clarita, CA

"...my sister gave me your "Selalu" bag in black & white for my birthday and I LOVE IT! Thank you for helping to get the Tsunami survivors back on their feet. Your bags are awesome and I've had so many compliments on mine. I always tell them your story and refer them to your site."
--Bev Stirling


Regarding our 2007 Laga Customer Appreciation Night...

"What a great party! The Laga bag I bought was black, and it was found because of a sweet young lady named Ruby, that dug thru the bags (without being asked), when my elderly girlfriend and I were outside on the patio and discovered the one in my hand was navy blue, not black as it appeared inside.
"Thanks again! My guest that night also purchased a Laga handbag and just loves it!"

--Joanne Spagle, Huntington Beach, CA

"Thank you, Roy and Louise, for such an awesome and inspiring evening. It was wonderful, and it again touched my heart for the people of Aceh. Thanks for letting me be a part of the evening. I enjoyed meeting your family members, also, and talking with you. God bless you as you continue to help the Aceh people!!"
--Darla Rincon, Anaheim, CA

"I enjoyed the evening, it seemed to run really smoothly. I know I will enjoy using the Laga handbag I bought. They look really well made and the fact that the proceeds go to a good cause makes them even better. I will think of the women that made them every time I use mine.
"Have you contacted Oprah?"

--Rosalia Molloy, Irvine, CA

rebuilding lives one handbag at a time

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.
