empowering women

When women are empowered, communities thrive! We support girls who want to learn a trade...women who don’t want to settle for an arranged marriage...moms who want to be able to work from home…retirees who don’t want to labor outdoors anymore…aspiring fashion designers who want to showcase their talent to the world.

SUSTAINABILITY

We take sustainability seriously. Our products use recycled nylon (RPET) exteriors and we're progressing towards waste-plastic thread embroidery and organic, eco-friendly interior linings. But we don't stop at materials. Each order you place triggers the planting of a carbon-absorbing mangrove tree. With us, you're not just shopping, you're actively nurturing a greener future.

FAIR TRADE FAIR PAY

In the fast-paced world of fashion, cheap and quick often overshadows quality and ethics. But consider this - the artisans behind your bags, are they fairly compensated? At Banda Bags, we don't compromise. We stand for fair wages, ethical trade, and humane labor - it's our unwavering commitment.

LIGHTWEIGHT

Banda Bags are meticulously handcrafted using incredibly lightweight materials, significantly lighter than traditional leather. Despite this, they maintain robust durability, owed to their detailed embroidery. This combination of lightness and resilience ensure Banda Bags are perfect for both everyday use and travel.

FAQS

  • How are Banda Bags produced?

    Banda Bags are uniquely handcrafted using a combination of hand-embroidery and paddle wheel sewing. We pride ourselves on these techniques as they maintain the integrity of a traditional art form in Indonesia in addition to the abstinence of mass-factory production. Mass-factory production not only lacks character in the creation, but in certain countries it has been the source of environmental irresponsibility as well as human right's abuse.

    Please be advised that given the handcrafted nature of our collections, along with the remote location and access to materials, there may be subtle differences in each Banda Bag...but again, we believe that makes Banda Bags even more special and unique!

  • Why are Banda Bags Vegan/Cruelty-Free?

    Animal-free fabrics have a smaller carbon footprint than materials (such as leather) requiring factory farming - a practice that often results in the increase of environmental devastation. As well as being "greener" than leather, vegan materials also spare animals castration, branding, tail-docking and other practices deemed cruel. Banda Bags is committed to maintaining a smaller carbon footprint as well as keeping animals safe!

  • What is the size difference between the Weekender Bag and the Mini Weekender Bag?

    · The Weekender Bag dimensions are: 20 in Long x 10 in Wide x 13 in High / 50 cm L x 25 cm W x 33 cm H.

    · The Mini Weekender Bag dimensions are: 15.5 in Long x 9 in Wide x 9.5 in High / 39.5 cm L x 23 cm W x 24 cm.

    But unless you have a ruler in your hands, this might not mean diddly to you. So here's how we differentiate:

    · The Weekender Bag will fit several outfits and toiletries for a weekend getaway! It also is the exact maximum size approved for carry-on baggage on a plane.

    · The Mini Weekender Bag will fit a change of small clothes for your barre or yoga class. Or, if you are like to carry a big everyday bag to fit your iPad, makeup case, etc. this bag will satisfy your needs.

  • How do I care for my Banda Bag?

    If you receive any stain or mark on your bag, simply dampen a cloth and lightly rub the area as to take care of the fine embroidery.
