All Types of Bags
RichGirl offers an extensive collection of handcrafted bags that blend luxury with social impact. Our line includes elegant totes made from reclaimed water hyacinth, sophisticated clutches featuring our signature conflict-free leather alternatives, crossbody bags adorned with heritage fiber textiles from Andean communities, structured satchels with Japanese-forged hardware, versatile backpacks that showcase indigenous weaving techniques, and limited-edition evening purses created through our cross-cultural artisan collaborations.
How We Work
At RichGirl, we embrace a transformative approach that weaves social impact directly into our fashion business. Our "regenerative business model" continuously reinvests in communities rather than extracting value. We source materials that solve environmental challenges, empower artisan guilds with company equity, maintain geographically distributed production that revitalizes rural areas, bridge generational knowledge gaps, transform traditional gender roles in crafting, and create transparent connections between customers and makers. Every RichGirl bag represents not just exceptional craftsmanship, but a carefully designed system where luxury becomes a vehicle for positive change worldwide.
What we do
At RichGirl, we create premium handcrafted bags that merge exceptional quality with meaningful impact. We transform problematic materials like invasive water hyacinth into luxurious leather alternatives, revitalize heritage fibers with indigenous communities, and pioneer plant-based materials that prevent deforestation. Our multi-stakeholder ownership structure ensures artisans share in the company's success, while our production model connects rural craft traditions with contemporary urban markets. Through initiatives like our Young Masters program and Craft Innovation Lab, we preserve traditional techniques while evolving them for today's needs.
