oovoo design is a unique wholesaler and e-tailer of hand-embroidered handbags. We work with a women's cooperative in Vietnam to get our bags hand-embroidered and the business supports dozens of Vietnamese women. Our bags grace the shelves of boutiques, galleries and museum stores nationwide.

The owner and “all-in-one-bag” boss is Pauline Lewis.

Pauline brings more than a decade of international business experience to the company, primarily in marketing and market research. She started her career at ACNielsen in Singapore and most recently was a Director with a leading market research firm in the US, serving Fortune 100 clients. Her experience crosses various markets and industries, with a focused expertise in South East Asian markets. Based on her strong marketing experience, she is able to utilize best practices from various industries and apply them to oovoo design.

She left the corporate world over six years ago and traveled back to Asia. She was inspired by the women she met along the way and started to work with one Vietnamese designer in particular: Ms. Le Thi Hong Tu, better known as Hong Tu. Hong Tu’s designs, along with Pauline’s vision and direction, are the signature cornerstone of oovoo design.

The company has won multiple awards and has been featured in Time magazine, Washington Post Magazine, BNET.com, ivillage.com and WJLA ABC News.
