How did KARMME start?
KARMME is an Australian designed & made handbag label that was established in 2015.
The brand was created by Imby, who was inspired to create a range of stylish, functional and affordable handbags when she found herself needing a handbag that could hold her phone, keys and purse that wasn’t a shoulder bag.
KARMME handbags are made from the highest quality materials and are designed to be versatile and practical yet stylish enough to take you from work to play.
The brand offers a wide range of handbags, including totes, clutches and cross-body bags.
KARMME handbags are available in various colours and styles, so there's something to suit everyone.
The brand is quickly gaining popularity amongst Australian women who appreciate style and function.
KARMME handbags are the perfect accessory for any woman on the go.

How has KARMME evolved?
In the beginning, Imby designed and made all the KARMME pieces. It was after 18 months that she expanded to employ makers who in partnership have been integral in expanding the range offered by KARMME. All the signature linings are still hand dyed by Imby and production is always done in a collaborative fashion, drawing on the expertise of cutters and makers to ensure the highest quality accessories are locally produced.
