Standing at the JFK Airport Security Check, after attempting to stuff my laptop inside my designer bag, the accessory’s thin strap broke. With my belongings scattered across the floor, it hit me: Why are we forced to sacrifice function in favor of fashion?

As women in finance, it was clear that our workbags weren’t designed for us. They either lacked the functionality required for our busy lives or meant settling for styles that didn’t embody who we are – in business and life. 

So we set out to create a solution. OLEADA was born from a desire to offer more than just another accessory – to provide thoughtfully engineered bags designed to ground women in their authentic expression. 

- From Tiffany, Co-founder & Creative Director

OLEADA means "wave" in Spanish—a symbol of dynamic power and unstoppable surge. 

Just as water, the softest element, can penetrate the hardest rock, we believe in the relentless strength and adaptability of every woman. Like waves making their way through cracks, rocks, and cliffs, you forge your own path with courage and conviction.

At OLEADA, we honor this spirit of authenticity and freedom. 

They say a woman keeps her life in her handbag. We believe it's true: Our bags don't just hold your essentials—they hold your story, confidence, and ambition. 

With OLEADA, you're not carrying an accessory; you're carrying a solution. One that gives you the peace of mind to live freely and lead authentically.

When all women are able to show up unapologetically in their purpose, we create an OLEADA—a wave—that moves beyond the status quo and propels us all toward a more equitable, balanced world.
