We’re Carmen Elena and Fátima — mom and daughter, the heart and hands behind Handma.

When you choose one of our bags, you’re not just picking an accessory — you’re choosing a masterpiece. Every piece is meticulously handcrafted, with love and intention, using
sustainable materials that support El Salvador’s circular economy and protect our environment.

Our bags are made with trapillo, a high-quality recycled textile, and cotton cord using traditional crochet and macramé techniques. Because of the nature of these materials, no two bags are ever the same — the colors, textures, and patterns are as unique as you are.

At Handma, we believe in creativity with a conscience. Our brand is a tribute to authenticity, craftsmanship, and the deep connection between style and sustainability.

Thanks for being part of our story — and for carrying a little piece of love, culture, and purpose with you.

— Carmen & Fátima
