I am the “boss lady” of Banda Bags. I am so happy to share our story with you. In 2011 I came to Sumatra and fell in love with the wild, natural beauty and exotic culture that was so foreign to my soul. One day, I stumbled upon some artisans selling these incredibly stunning handbags. I purchased a few to bring back home (never knowing this purchase would change mine and the artisans` lives in the future!) People would walk across the street to stop me and inquire about my gorgeous bag. They are seriously head-turning!  Overtime it dawned on me that these bags needed to be shared with the world.
