Hello! I am Emily owner and designer of Vaalbara Designs. My husband and I run the company from our studio in sunny California. Vaalbara Designs specializes in unique, vibrant and environmentally conscious bags handcrafted in the USA.
Thought to be Earth’s first supercontinent, Vaalbara is a symbol of the connection between people, environment and culture. Each bag is made with this idea in mind. Our fabrics are collected from every corner of the world and our inner lining is made with recycled plastic bottles.
A portion of every sale goes to the non-profit SurfRider Foundation, dedicated to keeping our beaches and oceans clean.
While we are passionate about the interrelatedness of the world, Vaalbara Designs is dedicated to local sustainability. Many of our materials, including our first -grade leather, are purchased within our community. And of course, inspired by the bohemian surf culture, each bag is handmade with love here at home in Venice, California.
Thank you for checking us out!
