The hottest handbags in fashion right now are also the handbags with the most heart. Each bag is wonderfully crafted with exquisite design and beautiful embroidery. With every purchase of a Laga handbag, a life is touched for the better.

On December 26, 2004, the island nation of Indonesia was struck by a devastating earthquake and tsunami in one of the deadliest natural disasters in human history. Over 285,000 people died as a result of that terrible occurrence. Those who survived lost their homes, their loved ones, and their livelihood. So many hearts and lives were left broken, the people of Indonesia are still recovering to this day. The effects of the earthquake and tsunami on Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia, the closest major city to the earthquake’s epicenter, were devastating.

Wanting to open up their arms to the people of Indonesia, Roy and Louise van Broekhuizen launched Laga Handbags in August 2006, which features incredible handbags handmade by Acehnese who have survived the tsunami in Aceh, Indonesia. Laga Handbags offers a ray of hope to the people there, allowing residents and survivors in Aceh to make and sell handbags to raise money and rebuild their lives with each beautiful purse sold. Each handbag is truly a work of art; no two are exactly alike, and each handbag is handmade using a nylon polyester blend fabric and embroidered with the highest quality cotton embroidery thread. Each purse features a luxurious silk satin lining. Each Laga Handbag sold brings the province of Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia one step closer to putting the pieces back together.
Laga Handbags was started to make a difference in the lives of the tsunami survivors, and you, too, can be a part of the change. Laga has given 25% of their gross revenue to help these unfortunate tsunami victims. Founders Roy and Louise van Broekhuizen truly care about helping the many people whose lives have been affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia.
