About Teddy Blake

$2,000 or more?! Is that really the cost of owning a designer bag? Luxury often means beauty, quality, craftsmanship, and premium materials—but does it have to come with such a high price? This very question came to Samy Waiche, founder of Teddy Blake, while searching for the perfect gift for his (now) wife. Determined to uncover the truth behind the $50 billion handbag industry, he traveled to Italy to research the manufacturers behind luxury brands, leather sources, and production costs. The answer? NO! Most traditional luxury brands charge 60% to 90% of their price just for the label, not the craftsmanship or materials. This sparked a mission to create a brand that would redefine luxury: beautiful, high-quality handbags at fair prices. Teddy Blake launched to challenge industry norms, offering bags that rival top luxury brands in quality—without the inflated costs. The brand grew rapidly, but at first, it was seen as a great-quality reseller rather than a name in its own right. Determined to stay true to its mission, Teddy Blake evolved into a brand that democratizes the luxury leather industry, offering timeless designs with premium materials, all at accessible prices. Today, with a talented team and a strong strategy in design, marketing, and production, Teddy Blake is emerging as a leader in affordable luxury handbags—proving that true luxury doesn’t have to break the bank.Read their story
