About Us
Designed in Vancouver
Hand Crafted by Women Artisans in India
RISA is a Vancouver-based sustainable fashion brand founded by sisters Riddhima and Saloni Sayal. Each handbag is a unique blend of timeless design, ethical production, and authentic craftsmanship — proof that style and sustainability can go hand in hand.
At RISA, we create upcycled genuine leather handbags that are handcrafted by skilled women artisans using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Proudly supporting fair trade practices and local Canadian values, our brand empowers women while reducing waste — making every bag a statement of purpose and beauty.
Growing up in our family’s leather export business, we were surrounded by bags — and passion. Over the years, we began reimagining designs from scratch, and soon, our love for leather and craftsmanship gave birth to RISA in the summer of 2012.
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.
