Originally introduced to the fashion community in 2001, the l. j. bamboo collection is inspired by the rich cultural history and traditional crafts of ancient civilizations throughout the world and brings the philosophy that fashion, function and philanthropy can live hand-in-hand--thus with every purchase on www.ljbamboo.com, a donation is made to a charity helping underprivileged mothers, including The White Ribbon Alliance http://whiteribbonalliance.org/.

Funky bag designs for men and women, including our signature diaper bag collection and Stroller Totes, hand-painted silk scarves and cashmere wraps, and unique gift ideas are quickly making l. j. bamboo a widely recognized name. l. j. bamboo is constantly attempting to balance the traditional with the innovative, implementing new designs and luxury goods that will expand the limits of the fashion world.

l. j. bamboo founder and designer, Lee J. Brenner, has been inspired by an amazing array of traditional crafts and cultural designs that he spotted during his myriad of travels throughout the world. Back in January 2001, while wandering the quiet sidestreets of Hanoi, Vietnam, Lee had an epiphany to create a collection of modern lifestyle goods using the traditional crafts and local artisans that he encountered during these his travels. It was also during these initial travels that Lee was inspired by one of the most varied and useful natural gifts found on every continent: bamboo.

l. j. bamboo is a perfect fusion of Lee's ideals. l. j. bamboo has been committed to working with family-owned and operated workshops throughout the world, so that the work and profits go to those that are most in need in these developing economies. l. j. bamboo is a lifestyle that combines the love of global travel with the desire for unique, artisan-inspired products from around the world.
