| I created cacador because I am mad about bags and
believed that a superior quality bag will last forever. Unique exotic leathers
are used because I want to make every bag one of a kind. We are now only selling
to our private clients, in the next few years we will sell our bag in few major
cities in the world. Our bags are made out of the best exotic leather
available ordered in the smallest quantity possible. We stick to our philosophy
making every bag produced as unique and special as possible. Each bag comes with
beautiful matching detachable coin purse, In addition, quilted leather are used
in our lining. My customers are women who lead fashion rather then following
them blindly. They dare to be different and are often leaders in their own
field. I get my inspiration from many things, my books, travels, heritage
influences and things I see daily.
Having worked in a fashion-buying house dealing with leather products and
accessories for a few years, i have developed my appreciation of leather for
their texture and feel. My first bag was made 5 years ago out of python and
ostrich for myself. That bag attracted attention wherever I went. I have random
strangers coming up to me asking me where can they buy the bag. I was also sent
to exhibitions to source for new products, it was then that I have met tanneries
that produce exotic leather in the highest quality. I have managed to work with a very experience team of craftsmen who prided
themselves to produce the bags at the highest quality. We worked only with the
top leathers suppliers in the trade. We do not compromise our quality with cost.
And all our leathers are made in accordance to the Convention on International
Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)
My most recent design nightmare was when I just started I tried to engage
factories that is lower in production cost however, many of this factories
promised quality and deliver otherwise. Thus wasting a lot of precious finance,
time and materials. Currently I only work with craftsmen who holds pride and
skill-set in their craft. I personally do the final check before delivering to
my customers which explains my biggest accomplishment. Every one of my
bags are my pride and my joy. Most of the time, I am really reluctant to sell
them because they are so beautiful, but when I see my clients carrying them I am
really happy that are carrying my design and ideas.
