TAH bridges the gap between luxury craftsmanship and thoughtful functionality

OUR STORY
Established in Portland, Oregon in 2015, TAH was born from the needs of its founder, Angie Pereira. As a former buyer for Nordstrom, a mother, and someone always on the move, Angie needed a bag that was both modern, and functional. With cardboard and tape, Angelina developed her first prototype, which was a handbag with a special attachment to "tote a heel." Hence, the brand TAH was formed. Each bag is handcrafted and merges luxury, style and function.
Now with a full range of handbags, accessories, and a brick-and-mortar showroom in downtown Portland, TAH serves a loyal community of women who inspired the brand.
FUNCTION AND FORM
Each bag has been thoughtfully designed to maximize efficiency and organization, with interior pockets ranging from a nylon lined water bottle or umbrella holder, specific detachable pouches for laptops, cell phones, and chargers, as well as the namesake shoe carrier. Multiple bags in the collection such as the Everyday 4x1 Bag and the Original TAH Bag offer versatility and adaptability, by simply removing or relocating a strap, giving shoppers more bang for their buck.
MADE IN MEXICO
TAH Bags are handmade by expert leather artisans with attention to detail in every cut, stitch, and seam.
Our bags are crafted in the leather capital of the world, Leon, Mexico in a family-owned studio, where the tradition of leather craftsmanship has been passed down generations.
MADE WITH HIGHEST QUALITY
FULL GRAIN LEATHER
Quality: Full-grain leather is the highest quality grade of leather money can buy. It includes all the natural grain and is much more difficult to work with. This is the reflection in the cost. Top grain leather is thinner and more workable for the manufacture.
Durability: The natural surface of full grain leather is unique. It is extremely strong and durable as the natural grain contains the strongest fibers in the hide. Top grain leather is imprinted with a imitation grain to give it a more uniform look. By sanding off the natural grain, they’ve sanded off the strongest fibers in the hide.
Aging: As a full grain leather ages, rather than wear out, it burnishes and beautifies, developing unique character that cannot be easily duplicated. The more you use it the better it looks and feels. The difference in top grain leather is a finish coat applied that provides protection against stains. However, the refinishing process also prevents the leather from developing a natural patina over time.
