OUR STORY

I named this collection

Anna and Patsy

as a heartfelt tribute to my great-grandmother (nanni) - Patsy Rodger, and a celebration of my own identity as Anna. The name carries a deep significance, honoring the strong bond between generations and the values instilled in me by my family. Patsy Rodger's legacy of resilience, determination, and love continues to inspire me. And I wanted to infuse those qualities into my collection.

Our journey began in June 2022 with the launch of our Classic series, a stunning fusion of traditional Indonesian craftsmanship and modern luxury. The blend of genuine leather and exquisite Puspobendo batik design, creating a sophisticated look that is sure to turn heads.

Responding to customer demand, we have significantly expanded our collections over the last three years. Anna and Patsy handbags are now featuring more than one specialized collection. We have also successfully exported to Malaysia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Rwanda, and Canada.

Local Wisdom in

Puspobendo Batik Production

The design of Puspobendo batik motif is inspired by the rare Bendo tree, native to Blitar, which naturally acts as a water reservoir for human life.

This design also preserves the ancestral message from Mbah Alif Ahmand Hasan, the founder of Bendo Village, who emphasized the importance of plants that can store water, as reflected in his actions (the water source and Bendo trees still exist today).

Meet Our CEO - Chief Emotional Officers

Meet Our Board:

The 14 Chief Emotional Officers (CEOs)

At Anna & Patsy, we don’t answer to shareholders; we answer to our 14 Chief Emotional Officers.

While they all have different "management styles," they share one common goal: keeping our hearts full and our craft room lively. 10 of our 14 CEOs are rescues, coming to us from alleyways, overcrowded shelters, victim of hit and run, and tough beginnings. Today, they traded the streets for loving home and sunny windowsills.

Why 14 CEOs?
Because a handmade bag is more than just leather and thread—it’s built on the love, patience, and resilience we’ve learned from our feline family.

The Rescue 10: These guys are our "Mission Consultants." They remind us every day why 1% of your purchase goes directly back to helping cats just like them.

The Full 14: Whether they are supervising a stitch, testing the durability of a strap with a playful bat, or "editing" our emails by walking across the keyboard, they are the true pulse of this brand.

"We believe every cat deserves a promotion from the streets to the boardroom."
