Lightweight & Durable

Lightweight, Strong, and Made to Last

Despite its structured shape, the bag is incredibly lightweight. It won’t stretch, sag, or lose its form — even after years of use. I put my heaviest items, especially when traveling- Laptop, phone, Tumblr, etc!!

The WHY behind Barbre

Every purchase directly supports women artisans in the Philippines. Your bag helps provide jobs, strengthen local communities, and empower families to build a better future.
I lived in the Philippines for three years, and I witnessed firsthand how different their living standards are — yet what stood out the most was their kindness, resilience, and the way they showed up for me with so much love, even when they had so little.

That experience changed my life.

It taught me what real community, support, and generosity look like.

Being able to give back through Barbre brings me so much joy, because it allows me to return even a small piece of what they gave me.
