Yolande Jimenez-Koekenbier

In 2008 Yolande started her business as a fine artist, accessory designer and teacher in textile crafts. In 2009 she got the diagnosis cancer, but she survived and got a second chance in life, so she liked to give something in return to the community.
During a visit to her family in the Philippines she discovered options to develop a new passion: the design of her own exclusive bagcollection made of exotic materials. Because of the poverty in the Philippines she has seen, she decided to produce exclusive bags combined with charity as a mission. Thats why part of the revenues of the bags will benefit trainings in bagproduction for underprivileged Filipino women to give them better perspectives. Yolande has built a collection of eye-catching, stylish and unique handmade bags with handpainted lining, jewelry and silk / felt shawls that makes her clients shine! Dare to Wear and make the difference!
