Risa

Risa, founded by sisters Riddhima and Saloni Sayal, is a family-owned Canadian brand that stands as a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to female empowerment. Growing up in their family’s leather export business, the girls were surrounded by bags — and passion. Over the years, they began reimagining designs from scratch, and soon, a love for leather and craftsmanship gave birth to RISA in the summer of 2012.

Risa Vancouver believes that luxury doesn’t have to come with a hefty price tag and wants to offer affordable luxury. They know that their customers are savvy, conscious shoppers who want products that not only look and feel amazing but also reflect their values. Each handbag is a unique blend of timeless design, ethical production, and authentic craftsmanship — proof that style and sustainability can go hand in hand.

Risa bags are crafted with precision and care, using only the finest upcycled leather, ensuring that every piece offers exceptional durability, style, and longevity. By rescuing leather waste from the clutches of fast fashion, they breathe new life into what would otherwise end up in landfills. Women artisans use traditional techniques passed down through generations. Proudly supporting fair trade practices and local Canadian values, the Risa brand empowers women while reducing waste — making every bag a statement of purpose and beauty.

For Risa, uplifting women is at the heart of everything they do. Not only are they creating a sustainable and beautiful product, but also nurturing a community of talented women who are pushing boundaries and taking control of their craft.

Whether you're searching for ethically made leather handbags in Canada, looking to support local women-owned businesses in Vancouver, or simply want a statement piece with heart, Risa Bags delivers with purpose.

When you invest in a Risa Bag, you're not just buying an accessory - you're purchasing a lifetime companion. A bag that will age gracefully with you, becoming even more beautiful over time. 

A bag that will never go out of style.
