At LA BAGGIO we are driven by a singular mission: to create luxurious, eco-friendly alternatives to traditional leather while empowering communities and promoting sustainability.
After 30 years of manufacturing and exporting leather goods for brands all over the world Bhavna Belani, the founder woman entrepreneur, got a rude jolt when her teenage daughter Sanjana, who is an animal lover, refused to carry a beautiful handwoven leather bag citing that it was made of leather and therefore a material that encourages the slaughter of thousands of animals worldwide.
The story of Sanjana resonates with millions worldwide who seek fashionable choices without compromising their values.
In 2019, thus began the hunt for cruelty free alternatives to leather.LA BAGGIO was founded as a mother-daughter enterprise of Bhavna Belani and her young daughter Nikita who is eager to pivot the business from leather to sustainable vegan materials.
Besides leather, most of the bags offered by various brands are made of PU, a material that is highly toxic to the environment.
At LA BAGGIO we are offering sustainable options for the various toxic PU materials used by other brands.
Some of our collections are crafted from innovative materials derived from plant wastes.
Farmers in India have to burn the plant wastes as it is most economical to burn wastes rather than remove them from the fields.
This burning of plant wastes is the main reason for air pollution in several cities of India.
We at LA BAGGIO are not only reducing the environmental impact but also supporting the livelihoods of farmers, artisans, and women in rural communities.
By choosing LA BAGGIO, you’re not just choosing a product—you’re making a statement for a more conscious and compassionate world.
LA BAGGIO is more than just a brand; it’s a movement toward sustainable luxury. Our vision is for a better future, ensuring that every item we create contributes to a healthier planet and a brighter tomorrow.
