The vision
Póoj Studios was founded on the belief that design and sustainability should never be at odds. We create handbags that combine high-end aesthetics with innovative, earth-conscious materials — without compromise.
Inspired by the complexity of Mexico, where heritage and innovation coexist, our pieces reflect the beauty found in tradition, craft, and disruption. At the core of Póoj Studios is a commitment and homage to duality: classic yet bold, natural yet contemporary. Forever, yet ever-evolving.
The mission
Our mission is to create exceptional handbags that merge sustainable innovation with high-end design, celebrating Mexican heritage while empowering women to express their complexity, purpose, and style.
Through responsible materials, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a commitment to aesthetic excellence, we aim to set a new standard for what modern luxury can be.
Each bag is handmade to empower women to express their strength, complexity, and identity — through what they carry and how they carry themselves.
The material
At the heart of Póoj Studios is our commitment to sustainability. We use natural, nopal cactus leather: a groundbreaking, plant-based material that offers the look, feel, and durability of traditional leather without the environmental harm.
This innovative material requires minimal water, no toxic chemicals, and often even repurposes leftover cactus from other industries, making it both luxurious and eco-conscious.

The craftsmanship
Luxury is defined by care and intention. Each Póoj Studios handbag is handmade in Italy by a small team of skilled women, combining precision, traditional techniques, and attention to detail.
Our process brings together the best of two worlds: a native Mexican material — nopal cactus leather — and the legacy of Italian artisanship. From careful construction to hand-finished details, every bag is built to last. Bold, refined, and timeless.
The founder
Póoj Studios was founded by Alexa, a Mexican-German designer drawn to dualities. Having experienced contrasts throughout her life — between cultures, disciplines, and passions — she set out to create a brand that reflects that balance.
Through Póoj Studios, Alexa seeks to redefine luxury and prove that sustainability can be both artistic and expressive. Her work blends heritage with innovation, celebrating strength, softness, and the beauty found in transformation.
Why Póoj Studios?
Póoj Studios exists for those who believe style should never come at the expense of values — and that sustainability should never mean compromising on design.
We create handbags that merge modern form, responsible materials, and considered craftsmanship. Made from Mexican cactus leather and crafted in Italy, each piece embodies a balance of heritage, innovation, and integrity.
Póoj Studios isn’t just what you carry — it’s what you stand for.
