Our Story
A stolen dream.
That's what my friend's trip to Spain became (a stolen dream) just days in, all because of a pickpocket. One minute her wallet was there, the next it was gone, vanished without a trace. Cash, credit cards, ID – everything a traveler needs vanished in an instant. Thankfully, she had her cousins for support, but the experience left a chilling thought: what if she'd been alone?
The image of a solo traveler, stranded in a foreign land with no access to money or identity, was a nightmare. Imagine the scramble to contact banks, the struggle to navigate language barriers and to make a statement at the police (which is recommended), the constant fear and anxiety... A stolen wallet could mean a derailed trip, replaced by stress and a desperate scramble for help.
From Frustration to Inspiration:
I didn't want this to happen to me or any woman exploring the world. My desire for stylish yet secure travel gear sparked a mission. There had to be a better option – a bag that combined elegance with essential security features for woman travelers.
A Quest for the Perfect Companion:
The search was frustrating. Stylish bags lacked anti-theft features, and secure bags were not nice nor attractive. The travel companion I envisioned – a blend of security and elegant style– simply didn't exist.
This frustration led to the creation of Thafael . THA for my daughter Thaliya and FAEL for my son Rafael. Solo women travelers, and women in general, deserved better. They needed a bag that let them explore confidently, blending adventure with fashion and style.
The Thafael Journey Begins:
Thus began the Thafael journey, a commitment to creating travel essentials that addressed the unique needs of solo women travelers. We embraced innovation, using sustainable cactus leather for its strength and true beauty. We prioritized security features to give peace of mind, and designed with functionality and organization in mind.
More Than Just a Bag:
Thafael handbags are more than just accessories – they're companions for fearless travel journeys. Each one is meticulously crafted to empower women to explore with confidence, discover their true best self, focus on creating memories, and leave the worry behind.
