About KALUXE

The 1988 Beginning

Our story begins in Hong Kong with my mother. As a single parent raising two daughters, she sacrificed everything—even selling her beloved sewing machine—to make ends meet. But her passion for craftsmanship never faded. In 1988, she poured her last savings into taking over a local bag workshop.

Designed for Real Life 

Juggling kids and a busy life, my mother found traditional bags too heavy and impractical. She needed a bag that worked as hard as she did. So, she designed her own with three core principles:

Feather-Light : Made from durable but lightweight materials to ease the burden on your shoulders.

Weather-Ready : Water-resistant designs to protect your essentials from sudden downpours.

Smart & Secure : Packed with clever compartments and hidden pockets to keep things organised and safe in crowded places.

Trusted by Hong Kong's Finest

Word of her practical, high-quality designs quickly spread. What started as a small workshop grew into a beloved local brand. For years, our bags have been proudly stocked in some of Hong Kong’s most famous and trusted department stores, including YATA and Citistore, as their long-term partners. This was the ultimate proof that her dedication to quality truly resonated with everyday women.

From Hong Kong to the UK

When I got married and moved to the UK, I wanted to bring a piece of my mother's incredible work with me. She is still pouring her heart into crafting these bags today. I quickly realised her creations—built for unpredictable weather and busy commutes—were absolutely perfect for British life. Every bag I share with you here carries my mother’s ongoing dedication and decades of craftsmanship, ready for your everyday journeys.
