Founded in 2020 in New York by former finance and engineering professionals Tiffany Zhou and Tracy Zhong, Oleada was born from a frustration with the lack of functional yet elegant work bags for modern women. The founders applied their technical backgrounds to engineer handbags that solve real-world problems without sacrificing style. Oleada specializes in thoughtfully designed, lightweight work bags, such as the Wavia and Marina collections, which feature convertible straps, dedicated laptop compartments, and weather-resistant finishes. The brand's aesthetic draws inspiration from the modernist architecture of Antoni Gaudí, incorporating subtle wavy lines that symbolize the dynamic power of ocean waves and the resilience of women.
