Las Alba

Las Alba is owned by sisters Angelina and Johanny Puello. Their artisanal handbags are made in all repurposed military uniforms or in all leather or/and repurposed military uniforms & leather in Tuscany, Italy and New Jersey, USA. Angelina is a Nurse who has been in the Navy for 15 years. Johanny is a Fashion Photographer and Fashion Designer who developed an interest in human behavior and obtained degrees in Forensic Psychology and Special Early Childhood Education. Their bifurcated careers merged when Johanny asked Angelina for one of her old uniforms to make a bag, from there, the idea organically came into vision, “Why not take these uniforms, which often are thrown away or shredded and give something back to the people that served and sweated in them.”
