Laga Launches New Affiliate Program

Laga Handbags was founded as an extension of our involvement in the relief efforts in Aceh, Sumatera, Indonesia following the 2004 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that ravaged the “Land of the Beautiful People.”

In our humble beginnings we started our small workshop with 12 women, providing food, housing, medical treatment, training and sustainable income in order to help them rebuild their lives.

We originally chose to take these handbags, indigenous to the province of Aceh and not found anywhere else in the world, as a means through which to perpetuate the story about the people most severely affected by our generation’s most devastating natural disaster and to take all the net profits to help them rebuild and financially sustain themselves.


In the last four years, our Laga Handbags have made their way into the hearts and homes of people all over the world and we have been able to increase that number to over 300!



Having drawn the recent attention of celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey (Laga was featured on The Oprah Show in April 2010), Malaak-Compton Rock (wife of comedian Chris Rock – she introduced Laga Handbags on The Oprah Show), Amy Grant (Grammy winning music artist – Laga founders were invited to her home in October 2009), Whitney Houston (Grammy winning music artist – Laga founders were invited to meet with her in Beverly Hills in early 2010), Kim Coles (actress/comedian – staunch Laga fan and supporter), Pauley Perrette (television actress – staunch Laga fan and supporter for several years now), Lil Kim (American rapper, songwriter and actress) and many more, we want to take advantage of the momentum and increase our scope of reach even further, our goal being to help 1200 people.

But in order to reach that level of commitment, we need more people to come alongside and help. And that is where you come in!

We have developed what we call our Laga Affiliate Program through which not only can the net profits from Laga Handbags help to provide sustainable income for the people of Aceh, but we have found an amazing way to share a portion of those profits with you!

Laga Handbags Affiliate Program is easy and it is FREE.
