Originally from the Paris region in France, Louisa Lee began her career in 2008 by creating a multi-brand bag boutique. It was around this time that the brand's founder saw a gap in the market and realized how difficult it was to find a vintage bag that was durable, affordable and fashionable. It was this awareness that prompted Louisa to launch her own brand of affordable vintage leather bags. Over time, the brand has become a global leather goods brand.
