Our Story
At Encore, we embarked on a journey to redefine luxury and make a positive impact on the planet. We believe that fashion should be beautiful without compromising our environment. We repurpose pre-loved designer bags to give them a new life, transforming them into one-of-a-kind masterpieces with a renewed sense of purpose.
Sustainability
We're passionate about preserving the beauty of iconic designer bags while embracing a sustainable approach. Each handbag we create is a testament to our commitment to reducing waste and minimizing our carbon footprint. By upcycling, we avoid contributing to the production of new materials and give existing pieces a second chance to shine, fostering a circular economy that protects our planet.
The Art of Upcycling
Our artisans are dedicated to their craft, meticulously handcrafting each handbag with an eye for detail and a heart for sustainability. By incorporating traditional techniques and innovative design, our handbags become symbols of both artistry and environmental consciousness. Each stitch tells a story of our devotion to quality, authenticity, and timeless style.
“As the founder of Encore Bag, my journey began while I was working in the fashion industry. During my time at one of America’s leading leatherwear companies, I realized the extent of waste in the fashion world. Born in Seoul, Korea, and having lived in America, I’ve always had a diverse cultural perspective and an innate passion for design. This led me to dream of a fashion brand that not just catered to aesthetics but also promoted sustainability.”
Empowering Sustainable Choices
Encore isn't just a brand; it's a movement towards a more conscious and responsible future. With each purchase, you become a part of this movement, making a statement about the values you hold dear. We believe that fashion can inspire change, and together, we can redefine the way luxury and sustainability coexist.
Our vision is to lead the way in transforming the fashion industry, proving that eco-consciousness and exquisite design can walk hand in hand. By choosing Encore, you actively participate in making the world a better place—one upcycled handbag at a time.
