ROOS is a handmade bag label founded by Roos Koks (@rooscreativelab ) in Amsterdam. It began in 2020, when she lost her bag and decided to sew a replacement herself. Six years later, Roos continues to design and craft her signature bags between Amsterdam and her second home, Lisbon. She now works closely with a small atelier of skilled women near Porto, Portugal. In 2022, Roos and @marijnshoedjesenzo founded The Creative Lab. They realized their shared need for a creative community, as small business owners often operate on their own. It soon became a space where creators could connect and engage with their audience. Roos: ‘We make every bag in small quantities, avoiding overproduction and ensuring that each piece remains unique. All fabrics are hand-sourced by me in Amsterdam or Lisbon, then made with attention to detail, which defines every ROOS bag.’ Photography @emmajuneroze Styling @sumiha Assisting @ssofiaorodrigues Models @valerialimborska @jeanneroest —
