Proverbs 3:5-6

Mission Statement

To Glorify God as faithful stewards of His business —- building with integrity and excellence, and blessing every life we touch through the eternal hope of the Gospel.

At KAESA, we thoughtfully design every product and detail with love and care —- to inspire confidence and bring beauty into your everyday life. Each piece reflects our deeper purpose: to serve, uplift, and honor God by positively impacting His creation.

The KAESA Name

The name KAESA is a play on the word ‘case’. We carefully selected this name to embody the style, sophistication and beauty of our products.

Sustainability is also at the heart of everything KAESA does, and our ultimate goal is to build a sustainable brand and community that will make a meaningful and positive impact in the world. We make it a priority to use only sustainable materials in all of our handbags and accessories.

Sustainably & Ethically Made

Traditional leather manufacturing is extremely harmful to the environment and uses millions of chemicals during the manufacturing process, which eventually pollutes the air, water and soils. The animal leather industry also leads to more than a billion cows, pigs, goats, sheep, alligators, ostriches and kangaroos being cruelly slaughtered for their skins every year.

KAESA provides a sustainable, cruelty-free alternative solution. We use sustainable materials like vegan leather and natural plant based materials like cactus leather in all of our products.

Both of these materials are sustainable, cruelty-free and have a low environmental impact. Cactus leather is also biodegradable. And vegan leather, unlike animal leather, is a synthetic material made from textiles. This means it is a much more eco-friendly material and uses substantially less water and resources during its production.

KAESA products are made with high-quality materials and incorporate rich textures, classic shapes and contemporary accents. The interior design of each product carefully considers utility, embedding innovative organizational layers, to fuse style with everyday function. Our products are also water resistant, durable and versatile, with the ability to be worn and used in multiple ways.

Our products are a beautiful blend of functionality, exceptional craftsmanship and innovative sustainability that you can feel good about inside and out.

Hi, I'm Amy Chu McQueen, the Creative Director of KAESA — a brand grounded in faith, purpose, and creativity.

My professional journey began in the field of interior architecture, in New York City, where I developed a deep passion for design, fashion, and sustainability. Driven by a desire to make a positive impact, I launched a line of foldable bags aimed at reducing disposable plastic waste. During this time, I competed in the Independent Handbag Designer Awards competition, and was honored as a top five finalist—an achievement that ignited my passion for accessories design.

In 2016, I moved to Korea to reconnect with my heritage and to establish my brand, KAESA. As I developed the business, I became increasingly aware of the environmental impact of traditional animal leather, inspiring me to create products that promote sustainability and positive change.

Today, my Christian faith shapes the vision and purpose of KAESA — to glorify God through beautifully crafted products, by supporting those in need, and by sharing His love.
