At The House of Foxy, we are passionate about crafting ethically responsible handbags. Our pieces are carefully handmade by skilled artisans in Portugal, using sustainable methods and materials sourced from Europe. We believe in slow fashion—creating timeless designs that respect both people and the planet. Every handbag reflects our dedication to ethical fashion, ensuring quality and sustainability in every stitch.
Why Foxy?
The name "Foxy" embodies our commitment to clever, resourceful, and bold designs. Inspired by the fox’s elegance and adaptability, we create handbags that are both stylish and practical, blending tradition with modernity. Our bags empower those who wear them, symbolizing independence, grace, and a sharp eye for detail.
How We Produce
We believe that exceptional products take time. Each Portuguese handcrafted handbag is the result of meticulous research, thoughtful design, and sustainable sourcing. Our materials are carefully selected from trusted European partners who share our values. From the finest Italian leather to ethically sourced textiles, we focus on quality and sustainability. Our production process honors tradition while embracing innovation, ensuring that each piece is made to last.
The Founder
"The House of Foxy was born from a very personal need. In 2021, I felt the urge to create something that truly reflected who I am and what I believe in. I started by following the advice of experienced people and looked for production outside of Europe, but I quickly realized that the distance between me and the production process was too great. I couldn’t see the materials, understand the working conditions… and that left me restless.
There were nights I lay awake thinking, 'Am I doing this the right way?' By the end of 2022, I knew I needed a change and set out to find a closer, more authentic production. That’s when I discovered artisans in Portugal who shared my values – care, respect, and passion for their craft. In 2024, Foxy became a reality with its first piece, the ALEA, a piece that embodies everything I stand for."
