About Ramona Bags Peru

Hi, I'm Karen, the maker behind Ramona Bags.

I started crocheting as a creative outlet, but over time it became something much more meaningful. After my mom, Patricia, passed away, creating with my hands became a way to feel close to her again. Ramona was my grandmother's name, and it was also the name my mom had chosen for her small business. When she passed, she left behind unfinished projects, sketches, and countless ideas. Continuing what she started felt like the most natural way to honor her memory.

Today, I create handmade pieces between Peru, where I was born, and Canada, the country I chose to call home. While crochet is at the heart of my work, I also enjoy exploring other fiber arts and handmade crafts. Whenever possible, I use reclaimed fabric yarns and thoughtfully sourced materials because I believe beautiful things can come from materials that already have a story. It's my small way of embracing sustainability and giving textiles a second life.

I don't make products in large batches or in factories. Every piece is made by hand, one at a time, so no two are exactly alike. Those little differences are part of what makes handmade work so special.

Thank you for being here and for supporting a small business built with love, patience, and creativity. I hope you find something here that you'll enjoy for years to come.
