Not Your Average Bag
A Purchase With a Purpose
“Cesta Collective has made a big impact with small handbags on more than 1,400 women’s lives.”
“Cesta Collective, a new, cult-ish handbag line with a feel-good success story... They're luxe, yet low-key -- not "crunchy". It's just one way Cesta is subverting the many stigmas surrounding sustainable fashion.”
“Jane Birkin would be jealous.”
“A classic piece you'll have forever.”
Co-op Leader & Head Weaver
Meet Niyitegeka Liberte
“I am the primary income provider in my family. Before, I didn’t always know if I could afford food if the crops failed or medicine in the case of emergency. Now, I can comfortably say that I am able to pay for a hospital visit, medical treatment, or additional food if needed. The increased income made it easy for me to get loans, which I used to build my house, invest in land, and purchase livestock. I aspire to have a lasting impact on my family and community by working to lift up others.”
Limited-Edition
Small Batch Production
When we say limited-edition, we mean it. Each piece in our collection is made entirely by hand from start-to-finish, in very small batches. Because, ubiquity isn't interesting! Only a few of each exist & all are unique in their own way.
