Catrinka Bags are all about girl power!

Ethical accessory brand, Catrinka, is all about girl power!

The two year old business was founded in New York City by three friends named Megan Cayten, Sumana Setty, and Amisha Patel who all share a passion for design and empowering women and young ladies. Catrinka’s motto is, “Buy a bag, employ a woman, and educate a girl.”

Their goal is to make products that not only tell a story, but create a sense of community among their female consumers in hopes to change the world. They believe that employing women will provide opportunities for their children and that the pattern of investing in women and girls will lead to a dynamic change in the world.

All Catrinka bags and jewelry are made by women and with each bag that is purchased, Catrinka will provide more than a week of education and mentoring to young girls, so they have the necessary tools to accomplish their goals and provide a positive future for themselves. Their first project, the Catrinka Project was inspired by a girls education documentary entitled, “Girl Rising.” The Girl Rising handbag collection gave 120 women in 11 countries the opportunity to work for 1,500 days as well as provided 129 girls with secondary school education and tutoring, if needed, for a year.
