I bought a wallet named Uang which means “money” at the Irish Faire in Irvine, CA on June 21st. Listen to Sylvia Hassard-Johnson, a Laga Consultant as she shares the extraordinary story of who is responsible for making the wallet along with other handbags.
Roy and Louise van Broekhuizen are the founders of Laga Designs International, Inc. in Irvine, CA. Through consultants and boutiques, they sell handmade bags made by Indonesian Muslim women from Banda Aceh, one of the hardest hit villages in the December 2004 tsunami. These bags are uniquely hand stitched with great craftsmanship.

Laga handbags are one-of-a-kind embroidered handbags that are handcrafted by tsunami survivors of Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia. The wonderfully creative patterns are native to the province of Aceh, passed down from generation to generation, derived from traditional patterns and designs, enhanced to offer exceptional quality and value, a new contemporary flare without compromising authenticity.
