SilentRev's Profile

Andrea here with Silent Revolution....First off, super huge thanks to Apt Therapy for showcasing our bags! It's so exciting when someone notices all of our hard work.

Next, even larger thanks to Susie B for pointing out that all of our bags are made by hand here in LA. We are very aware that our price point is higher than most, but all of the details you see on our bags are hand done by me - literally, with the final construction of the bag being done at a small local factory here in LA.

Manufacturing is a tough business - especially domestically. We try to balance out our political ethics with our business ethics - and it's hard to get the two to meet. As a matter of fact, it's looking very likely that our next round of bags will be made outside of the US. We work very hard to make a solid line of well designed, sculptural bags. But doing so in the US, while trying to keep the price point down, is becoming almost impossible. Ultimately, it's the price that sells the bag - not where it's made.

But thank you all for your interest and comments. We're working towards a more "cost-effective" bag in the future! We welcome your comments and suggestions!
