The Story of Chica
It all started with the Luna bag, a box-shaped shopping bag that paved the way for the brand’s commitment to combine natural bamboo handles with intricate crochet. Over the years, the brand has redesigned and reimagined this iconic bag, and now their curation encompasses a variety of materials and shapes.
The brand has grown over the years, and today retails in over 300 stores across the country, as well as in Greece, England, and France. They’ve also grown their product line to feature charming accessories and handmade wool collections for winter.
