About us

La Pendla was born out of a very personal frustration: I simply couldn’t find the perfect bag. And I had truly been searching for years.

I wanted a bag that could follow me through everyday life – both to work and the gym – without having to carry multiple bags and totes. I needed space for meal boxes (without the risk of spills or smells on my laptop), workout clothes and shoes (without them dirtying everything else), and at the same time I wanted it to look stylish enough to work as an office bag.

When I couldn’t find it, I decided to design it myself. The result became what is now La Pendla: a practical yet elegant bag, inspired by classic oversized handbags but with smart compartments and thoughtful functionality.

I created it with all commuters in mind – those with long days who need a bag that can handle everything. It’s just as suitable for the newly graduated consultant living outside Manhattan with long hours at the office, as for the mom (like myself) on the outskirts of Stockholm who needs to carry snacks and diapers, or for the fitness enthusiast heading to the gym in Berlin’s suburbs with both shoes and a lunchbox in tow.

We keep our stock in Sweden, and at the moment we offer only one model – our beloved commuter bag. But more designs are on the way!

This bag was created with care, from me to you. For all of us who leave home early in the morning and return late in the evening, but still don’t want to give up the idea of carrying a beautiful handbag.

With love,
