Purse for the People

Our Story We at Purse for the People believe in the slow fashion movement, and that what we wear can be both beautiful and good for the planet. Fashion is a very polluting industry globally, and many workers are exploited. This can and must change. We have taken care to use beautiful, organic and natural materials and our primary component, rattan is sourced from the rainforest. Manufacturing: Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, which is why we use a customized design system that lets you, the customer, create a design of your own. Coupled with an innovative manufacturing process, waste is avoided and our overproduction is zero. Over three million tons of fashion items are disposed of in the US alone each year. By making each custom design individually, our focus can also rest on higher quality standards, one bag at a time. Here’s how it works. Step 1.The natural rattan and textile features of your bag are created in the forest and sent to our US factory. (link to our rattan journey video) Step 2. You design your own bag online. With easy mouse clicks you select the style, colors and finishes you want. Step 3. Your customized design is brought to life with quality, handmade workmanship here in the US, and shipped directly to you. Follow us and witness the process as we build out our US factory.
