Meet Michelle Medeiros of Bahay Bags
Handbags, handbags everywhere!
Sometimes it seems as though you can't pick up a magazine or newspaper anymore without seeing an article on handbags. Why? Well, our theory is that all women love a great bag. After all, your handbag can bring a much needed splash of color to a very conservative outfit - it can herald the changing of the seasons as you make the switch from leather to straw - or it can simply give your spirit a boost by appealing to your sense of whimsy, fun, elegance... whatever mood strikes you at that moment.
And while some handbags can cost as much as a small car; they certainly don't have to. We often compare them to lipsticks: you can feel fresh and revived by switching to a new shade; but you don't have to take out a second mortgage to do so!
Enter the lovely and vivacious Michelle Medeiros, the founder of Bahay Bags. Michelle calls the Philippines her "native home;" and it was there that she first saw simple, but vibrant bags to use in everyday life. She was enchanted by the fact that the handbags were made of all natural materials, were handwoven, and that they were totally unique from anything else on the market.
Being a creative dynamo, Michelle saw the bags as a tremendous opportunity. An opportunity to provide beautiful and affordable handbags to a larger audience; and at the same time an opportunity to showcase the natural, mystical splendor of her native island, the Philippines.
So Michelle wound up designing a stunning handbag line that combined provocative colors, contemporary style and Mother Nature's organic gifts. As Michelle says, "we set out to create native chic." And WOW - has she been successful!
Speaking further about her line, Michelle said, "I made these bags to feel mystical as they are feminine... I believe that organic flavor IS the beauty of the bag - hand-weaving is a timeless art." Bahay Bags are everything Michelle set out to accomplish. They are feminine, natural, chic - and very affordable. Music to any woman's ears!
"Bahay" means "home" in the Philippines. A Bahay Bag feels warm - and comfortable - and beautiful - just like any home should! Here at Bella Figura USA, we are very proud to offer you a selection of handbags from Bahay Bags.
