The woman behind the bag (updated 2014/15):

We work with a workshop in New Delhi to construct and assemble our Indian collection, using market fabrics. The workshop we partnered with is woman-owned and was established in 1996 with the motive of reviving the dying arts of India, and providing regular work to home workers. The workshop’s directors also run and fund a girls school that offers free tuition and midday meals. Lalita (pictured) has worked in the workshop for two years. She has five children: three girls, one of whom stays at home with her children, another works with her in the workshop, and a third is in school. One of her boys is in school and the other works in a garment manufacturing company.

About the Brand

Catrinka's products are all locally made by women, for women. Ethically crafted by female artisans from India and Mexico, Catrinka's authentically crafted handbags, clutches, and totes provide opportunities for women and girls around the world. Catrinka's products are so much more than simple fashion statements. For many women, a handbag represents financial empowerment and independence. It acts as a symbol that a woman has, for the first time, her own monetary means to support herself. When you shop Catrinka’s ethnic handbags, you are helping support its ongoing efforts to provide women the ability to earn financial stability, independence—and for girls—life skill learnings opportunities. Catrinka sells its products with a purpose, and when you decide to purchase from Catrinka, you’re helping women and girls reach that same goal.
