Our Beginning

Hi! I'm Andi, founder of ANDI. I think the most important thing for you to know about me is that I like to live my days as fully as possible. When I had the original idea for ANDI, I was working in a very corporate environment and traveling a ton. I needed to look the part, but also to make the most of my days! I bought a very nice leather bag, which was beautiful but it stressed me out because I worried about the rain ruining it – and it was also heavy – so I would have to run back home or to my hotel room to change out the bag, which meant a loss of time.

My original idea was a waterproof cover for another bag. I sought out a mentor and figured out how to get the initial design made. I sourced waterproof fabrics and took them with me on a work trip to China - and found a nice man in a market who agreed to make the first one.

The next day, I went back to the market to pick up my design. I tested out the folding capability right away - it worked, and it was beautiful. I hopped in a cab back to my hotel and cried tears of joy and amazement that my idea had come to life. And as soon as I started to use this first prototype, I fell in love with how light and easy it was to carry. Most importantly, I loved that I didn’t have to worry about my bag. And from that first prototype, I spent over 5 years and 63 design iterations making the bag of my dreams.
