I created cacador because I am mad about bags and believed that a superior quality bag will last forever. Unique exotic leathers are used because I want to make every bag one of a kind. We are now only selling to our private clients, in the next few years we will sell our bag in few major cities in the world.  Our bags are made out of the best exotic leather available ordered in the smallest quantity possible. We stick to our philosophy making every bag produced as unique and special as possible. Each bag comes with beautiful matching detachable coin purse, In addition, quilted leather are used in our lining. My customers are women who lead fashion rather then following them blindly. They dare to be different and are often leaders in their own field. I get my inspiration from many things, my books, travels, heritage influences and things I see daily.

Having worked in a fashion-buying house dealing with leather products and accessories for a few years, i have developed my appreciation of leather for their texture and feel. My first bag was made 5 years ago out of python and ostrich for myself. That bag attracted attention wherever I went. I have random strangers coming up to me asking me where can they buy the bag. I was also sent to exhibitions to source for new products, it was then that I have met tanneries that produce exotic leather in the highest quality. I have managed to work with a very experience team of craftsmen who prided themselves to produce the bags at the highest quality. We worked only with the top leathers suppliers in the trade. We do not compromise our quality with cost.  And all our leathers are made in accordance to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES)

My most recent design nightmare was when I just started I tried to engage factories that is lower in production cost however, many of this factories promised quality and deliver otherwise. Thus wasting a lot of precious finance, time and materials. Currently I only work with craftsmen who holds pride and skill-set in their craft. I personally do the final check before delivering to my customers which explains my biggest accomplishment.  Every one of my bags are my pride and my joy. Most of the time, I am really reluctant to sell them because they are so beautiful, but when I see my clients carrying them I am really happy that are carrying my design and ideas.
