Kayu

Founded by South East Asian-born Jamie Lin, California-based Kayu makes perfect-for-summer accessories made out of all-natural straw, shell and wood. Rendered by hand in the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, Kayu works with local mothers, grandmothers, sisters and daughters while sidestepping the mass-produced. Truly unique with rich history, Kayu uses gemstones, prints and pearls to embellish its bags. With some cut to shell silhouettes and others in the form of box clutches and totes, each design offers enough room for your lipstick, cell phone and keys. Embracing the laid-back vibe of LA with a blend of modern sensibility, Kayu is a vacation wardrobe must-have.
