Lachoix expands into leather goods with first handbag launch

Portuguese footwear brand Lachoix is expanding its product line into the leather goods segment with the launch of ‘Lou’, its first handbag model. Founded in 2018 by Fátima Carvalho, the Lisbon-based company specializes in women’s footwear, focusing on elegant and comfortable designs.

The Lou handbag is available in black and brown, featuring a geometric composition that combines smooth suede with crocodile-effect embossed suede. The brand aims to apply the same design and durability standards to this new category as it does to its footwear collections.

Founder and creative director Fátima Carvalho stated that the expansion explores the relationship between shoes and bags, noting that both accessories often serve to highlight the identity of the wearer. Lachoix continues to design and manufacture its products in Portugal, prioritizing limited productions and high-quality materials such as leather and velvet.
