Borboleta ® is a women’s handbag brand started in 2012. Borboleta means butterfly in Portuguese. Butterfly resonates with the concept of our brand, which is to create lightweight, beautiful handbags for women with on-the-go lifestyle. All our bags are cruelty-free (made from vegan leather) and ethically-produced. Borboleta serves happy customers around the world: roughly 65% hail from the US, 20% from Asia, 10% from Europe, and 5% from the Middle East. All of our bags are made from scientific leather. Scientific leather or vegan leather is a high quality material that is made 100% from microfiber. It is an innovation from Japan. This innovation yields the look, feel and durability of genuine leather, but better in a way that it is waterproof, more resistant to molds and 30% lighter than genuine leather. Borboleta Bag has grown from this auspicious beginning to make traveling and professional women organized and happy.
