Bodhi
Founded by Angela Han and Joseph Janus in 2008, Bodhi's handbags are architectural, sophisticated, and handmade. While its operations are based in New York, the brand puts stock in Eastern philosophy, as the name implies. To wit: The inside of each bag is embroidered with a mantra, such as "Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye" and "Those who bend in the wind are strongest." Bodhi comprises four lines: men's, women's, travel, and tech, and all products are made from the finest leathers and exotic hides.
