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.
Sustainable Luxury with a Modern Twist
At KAESA, we believe the products we use every day should be a balance of design and function. Our brand was founded with the modern woman in mind and we strive to create thoughtfully designed products that are as aesthetically beautiful as they are functional.
Inspired by our founder's architectural background and love for fashion, our products are elegantly crafted with clean lines, subtle detailing and sumptuous materials.

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.

Amy Chu is the founder, CEO and designer for KAESA. Amy began her professional career in New York City, in the field of Interior Architecture.
While living in NYC, Amy developed a passion for design, fashion and sustainability. After witnessing firsthand how many plastic bags were being thrown away in New York everyday, Amy felt inspired to develop a line of eco-friendly, foldable bags that would help reduce plastic waste. She created 50 prototypes made from luxurious textiles such as cotton, silk and linen. These bags were a huge hit with Amy’s friends and family and she sold almost all of them within a few months.
This initial success prompted Amy to design her first handbag and enter it into an international handbag competition, where she became a top 5 finalist. From that moment on, Amy knew designing handbags was her true calling.
