“We believe in creating things that last. Fast fashion and disposable trends have flooded the world for too long, so our mission is always to design and curate pieces you can carry day in and day out, season after season. Rooted in Portuguese heritage yet shaped by a childhood in South Africa, callicia grew from countless family visits to Portugal that sparked a lasting love for its craft, traditions and culture.

Rather than chasing fleeting styles, we spent time exploring materials that could deliver beauty without compromise. That journey led us to cork — a wonder material harvested from the bark of cork oak trees, which naturally regenerate. Cork is renewable, biodegradable and gives each handbag a unique, earthy characteristic. By transforming Portuguese cork into sophisticated handbags through ethical and fair‑trade partnerships, we are able to offer luxury that’s vegan, cruelty‑free and kind to the planet.

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond materials. We prioritize ethical production, fair wages and collaboration with local communities. For us, sustainability is about reducing fashion’s carbon footprint, and rejecting harmful chemicals. When you choose callicia, you’re not just picking up an accessory—you’re supporting a vision of fashion where beauty and responsibility coexist. Each bag is a testament to thoughtful design, respect for nature and the belief that style doesn’t have to come at the Earth’s expense. Thank you for being part of the journey toward a more sustainable future.
