The weaving handicraft is associated with female artisans globally, and we are happy to work with hundreds of female weavers in India, The Philippines, Morocco, and Spain. We have been able to create a fair trade, which has resulted in financial independence and job stability for the women that we work with.

After the weaving work is complete, our bags are finished by hand using napa leather as well as top quality linings, zippers, trims, chains, and embellishments.

POOLSIDE is the definition of slow fashion -- most bags take over a week to create. Since most of our items are made by hand, there can be slight differences between each bag, which make these items one-of-a-kind. We like to think that these items carry the energy of the woman who created them.

By purchasing a bag from us, you are not only supporting sustainable fashion and female artisans, but you are also investing in a classic wardrobe staple that will last you for years to come without ever going out of style.
