Based in the Bay Area, she built the brand slowly and today her bags are known for being super detailed. Most are produced by skilled artisans in the Philippines, often in small batches since the designs rely on whatever unique beads and fabrics are available at the time. That’s part of why some styles are considered rare or collectible—once those components are gone, the bag can’t be made again. Retired or early designs especially tend to be harder to find and more sought after.
