Angela & Roi is a brand with a purpose. Handbag designers Angela and Roi Lee started A&R in order to merge classic, minimalist design style with philanthropy. They encourage you to "donate by color," with $5 from each sale going to one of eleven charities. For example, a pink item supports breast cancer, red for HIV/ AIDS, and white for lung cancer.
Each handbag is made from high-quality vegan leather and durable fabrics and comes with a 100 day warranty. Their bags are clean, with sleek designs and definitely look high end (I love it.) You can find all of the lovely bags from A&R at www.angelaroi.com.
Check out our exclusive interview with Chief Fashion Officer and Co-Founder: Angela, of Angela & Roi below:
How did you get started in the fashion industry?
Roi has always been a businessman, he found me and saw a future in the fashion industry with me. He saw my love for fashion, and as he loves me, he found a way to intertwine our passions. Growing up, my mother molded my interest in fashion, she bought me the best quality and most beautifully crafted handbags, and styled my outfits with impeccable taste; she showed me a whole new world. As I grew older, and independent of my parents, I learned the truth behind fashion. It was too expensive for me as a college student to buy these handbags I grew up with; I could no longer afford those high quality bags. I quickly realized no one sold quality bags with classic design for an affordable price. Why can’t luxury be affordable?
