Dona and her Husband Jose started making purses 12 years ago. She used to
work in a bag factory, but she lost her job, her husband used to work in construction, but he didn’t make enough to help all his family. With a couple of saving they have, they decided to start making bags in a room of his house and sold them in fairs every weekend.
It was hard at the beginning, but people started liking the quality and new designs. Now they have a little factory in Ecuador and have employed Martha’s brother and two other friends. Dona is behind all the designs, decorations of the bags and the sell part, with her empathy and good humor she has been able to grow her business and educate their children and help other family members and friends who have lost their jobs too.

I am so glad that my unique and beautiful bag comes from a family who can own what they do and share their creativity 🙏
That colour scheme is so vibrant – love the creativity!
I am so happy with my bag. It’s stunning. And knowing the story and to be able to support his incredible family is lovely
