About Kwooksta

The name Kwooksta [pronounced: kwuksta] stands for diversity, zest for life, and the little quirks (the "kookiness") of life. The brand is the joint project of the Austro-British duo Lindsey and Chris. Inspired by their shared nomadic life in Asia and the creativity of local people in using natural materials, they have been designing stylish bags with Kwooksta since 2020, showcasing innovative, sustainable materials. The current collection focuses on a novel jute material, organic cotton, and vegetable-tanned leather. The bags are sewn in collaboration with a small, traditional family-run workshop in the heart of the global jute-growing region in West Bengal, India. Based on shared social values and sustainability principles, an open, honest, and trustworthy relationship has been established with this certified partner. The minimalist designs of the bags highlight the vibrant colors and individual character of the natural fibers used. All bags are lovingly handcrafted, making each piece a beautiful one-of-a-kind item - perfect for today's fashionable individualist.Read their story
