While in school writing a business plan for a handbag design company, I was called to Japan to pick up the baby we were to adopt in Tokyo.

I came back with a 6 week old child, and the inspiration for haiku.

As our daughter grew, so did the direction and scope of the company - evolving into a poetically functional collection of bags for women.

All haiku by sharon eisenhauer products are designed in Oakland, California. They are manufactured to the highest standards in China and Vietnam. It is important to me that all of our products are made with the utmost quality and care for those who do the work.

I have personally visited the factories in China. I took care to check out the work facilities, the cafeteria, the employee housing, etc. I met many of the workers and feel satisfied that our products are being made with care and integrity for the people who make them. I am a big believer that no one should profit at the expense of another human being.

Whether you work with them, play with them, or parent with them, I make haiku bags for the hybrid life you live today.

We love 'em and hope you do, too.
