Our Story - From One Bag to Another, A Journey of Change

At WOYAZA, we’ve always believed in bags that do more than just carry your things. Our leather bags are crafted in collaboration with trusted factories, where each piece is carefully produced to ensure lasting quality and style. They’re designed to meet the needs of everyday life, with timeless elegance that can carry you through every moment.

But it was a walk by the river one summer that made me rethink everything. I saw plastic bags caught in the reeds, swaying aimlessly, a bird confusedly pecking at one. The sight stayed with me. It made me wonder: how much of what we create ends up lost, wasted, or discarded? How many things we use every day have no real meaning behind them?

I had been creating leather bags for years, but at that moment, something shifted. I realized I didn’t just want to make bags. I wanted to create something that felt personal, thoughtful, and kinder. Something that didn’t harm the world it existed in. That’s when I started creating handmade fabric totes, each one with its own personality—simple, yet meaningful.

Every stitch, every word hand-lettered, every design printed by hand, was a way of turning everyday choices into something more thoughtful. A way to make bags that aren’t just practical, but a reminder of what we care about—the small things, the personal touches, the moments that matter.

Thank you for being part of this journey, and for carrying something made with heart. Whether it’s the classic leather bag or a fabric tote with a little handmade touch, each one tells a story.

With gratitude,
WOYAZA
