What a blessing it has been to exhibit at MQX New England for the Very First Time! We have met so many wonderful people here! We’ve seen some familiar faces as well as many, many new ones that we can proudly say who are now added to our Laga Family!

Thank you to all who have supported Laga Handbags thus far – we have enjoyed every minute! And a huge “Thank YOU!” to Janet-Lee for encouraging us to vend at this show! JL and Mary (gotta take time to get a pic of those amazing girls!) put on a beautiful show – amazing quilts (gotta get time to take pics of those, too!) – and, from what I hear, some pretty awesome classes! 700 students!

As I always try to do, I’ve included a few photos (there are tons more) of some of you who were not too shy to let me take your picture:


Cathy Dyckman and Rada Elegant… such fun ladies! (And I found out they run a show up in Cape Cod. Yay!) Cathy couldn’t decide between two Laga bags so, with the help of Fay Labanaris (I’ll try and include a pic of her in my next post), she bought them both! Damai handbag in silver/pink and Pagi large  shoulder bag in black/red/yellow. It was so good meeting you both! Thank you for your support!

Leanne Brunelle also couldn’t decide between two bags so she also purchased both! Aren’t they cute? Paspor small cross body in dark blue/cream and Pagi small handbag in black/cream. Thank you for your generosity, Leanne!

Karen Magnant has been buying Laga bags for quite a while. She came in wearing her Bunga dark blue/black cross body and came in to the show to purchase a few more! Harapan small shoulder bag in silver/pink and dark blue/black, as well as a small wallet (not shown) Uang small fold dark blue/black to match! Thank you for your faithful support, Karen!

Tracy Kennedy came back again and again to choose just the perfect combination! Tenang shoulder bag in black/cream and matching wallet Uang large zip. We appreciate you, Tracy!

Lori Bessette was really happy with her choice of Laga handbags: Selalu shoulder bag in dark blue/black. Thank you so much, Lori!

Estelle Banks loves her new Hidup handbag in black/cream! We hope you will love your Laga bag for many years to come, Estelle!

Ginny Canning spent some time looking around before she made her final decision – isn’t it perfect? She looks great with her new Pagi large shoulder bag in brown/red/cream! Thank you for your support, Ginny!

And although there are many more, I’ll end here with Bethanne Nemish for whom we had a very special “special” handbag made in her fave colors – and chose this beautiful wallet to add to her collection: Uang large fold in black/pink/white. We appreciate you so much, Bethanne!

Our visit with you all has been pretty fantastic as you can see by all the pics! We hope you will contact us and/or post on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/lagahandbags/ and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lagahandbags/ about how much you love your new Laga Handbags and Accessories! We sure would appreciate it if you would!

We look forward to seeing more of you in the next two days!

As always, Lancaster was a wonderful show for Laga! We appreciate those of you who came to visit our booth for all of your love and support! We know this year it wasn’t easy for some of you to get here due to the snow storm that gave us 12 inches on opening day! So we really do appreciate your efforts!

Here are a few of the moments we shared with our lovely customers this week:

Bunga seemed to be a popular bag with several of our customers this year!



Sharon Benz (wearing the black/grey) got support from her friend to buy her first Laga! Lori Jones snagged the only Bunga we had in black/red/cream and Linda Edwards (who has several Laga’s of her own) encouraged her friend Regina to buy the blue/cream who was truly pleased with her first Laga bag! Congratulations ladies!


Lorraine Harnish from APQS has been coveting co-worker Gretchen Adams’ Harapan large handbag and decided it was high time she got one of her own! Isn’t it a beauty in burgundy/black? Great choice, Lorraine!

Mothers and daughters LOVE Laga! Yet another family, Elizabeth Brigham (holding her new Pagi large in black/brown) and her daughter Barbara Denys with her Harapan small in black/grey, chose Laga to be their new handbag obsession, and we are so grateful they did!

And Kathleen Webb, from Studio 180 Designs, came to purchase three Laga bags to give as gifts to some very special (and lucky!) people in her life. She chose the Ria in black/cream and brown/red/cream and the Mudah in blue/cream. They are all so adorable, don’t you think? Thank you, Kathleen!

There are so many more pictures we took at the Lancaster show but this is just a sampling of our wonderful Laga friends and family… hopefully we can include some of those pictures in a later blog. Thank you ALL for your loyalty, support and friendship! It means the world to us and to the tsunami survivors we serve <3
