Our Story
Founded by designer and animal lover Medhavi Mehta in 2021 on Kickstarter. AVE Bags is a boutique Canadian vegan luxury brand fashion with a cause!
It all began when Medhavi, in search of a purse that aligned with her values, found herself caught between two choices: traditional leather, fraught with animal suffering, or synthetic materials that often fell short in quality and environmental impact. Determined to offer an alternative, she embarked on a journey to create something extraordinary—a brand that would redefine fashion's relationship with animals and the planet.
Join us on this journey as we redefine fashion with our stunning vegan handbags—each one a masterpiece of elegance and integrity, blending ethical choices with impeccable design. From sleek everyday essentials to bold statement pieces that turn heads, every item in our collection reflects our commitment to craftsmanship and sustainability. Embracing compassion, celebrating individuality, and paving the way towards a sustainable future, we invite you to make a stylish impact with a clear conscience.
Giving Back:
Medhavi has always had a profound love for animals, particularly dogs. This passion led to a deep involvement in rescuing dogs from the Korean meat trade, working with Adopt Korean Rescue (AKR) dogs to give these dogs a second chance at life. Inspired by the resilience and spirit of these rescued dogs. She has also personally volunteered to bring two dogs to safety in Canada, Molly and Sailor.
We are proud to partner with organizations that rescue dogs from the Korean meat trade. A portion of every sale is donated to support their tireless efforts in rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing these dogs. By choosing AVE Bags, you are not just buying a handbag—you are making a statement and contributing a portion of the sale to a cause that saves lives.
