Della

Della is a Los Angeles-based organization connecting you with the women of Hohoe, Ghana.

Upon a visit to Ghana, designer Tina Tangalakis was greatly inspired by the beauty of local fabrics and touched by the heart of the people. With the help of local seamstress Beatrice Agabe, she decided to begin Della, a company that would provide jobs to the local community while allowing her to access her creative skills.

As functional as they are beautiful, the Della bags are constructed of Ghana's stunning local textiles. Each purse is handmade by economically vulnerable women working under Beatrice's mentorship and the label on the inside strap is signed by the artist who made it. The sale of every bag has a positive effect on the people of Hohoe.
