About Us

Valerie’s deep love and admiration for the Haitian artisans inspired her to start Sak Lakay, and today Sak Lakay integrates her love of handbags and her reverence for these Haitian women who are oftentimes referred to as the poto mitans (pillars) of their communities. Sak Lakay is inspired by Haiti’s strong history of vibrant art and culture, and we hope to share that with the world. We aim to put traditional Haitian beauty into mainstream culture and empower the women who make and wear its accessories.
