A note from our founder
To me, personal style is one of the most impactful forms of self-expression. As someone who loves to get dressed to reflect my mood and the various facets of my personality and life, I found this pretty easy to do with my clothing. But when it came to handbags, I realized that I had a closet full of black purses. And while I love a black bag, it doesn't represent the full spectrum of who I am. So I began to investigate why as someone who is drawn to a variety of colors, patterns, and textures, I had no variety in my handbag wardrobe.
I was trying to buy less fast fashion and invest more in high-quality, ethically made pieces. But these handbags typically came with a higher price tag, so I wanted to buy something that would go with everything so it would be worth the price — hence, all the black bags. I knew there had to be a better option.
So I decided to build a brand for women like me, who appreciate quality, sophisticated design, and sustainable products — and don't want to spend their entire paycheck on a bag.
I created Calin with the hope that our handbags empower you to express your personality, experiment with your style, and unapologetically celebrate the many facets of who you are.
