Woman-Owned & Operated

CB Station was founded back in 2012 by Indian-born, female entrepreneur, Manali Shah. She began selling individual canvas bags out of her garage and on eBay. At the start, Manali was running this business part-time, while raising her two young sons. Once her boys started elementary school she had more free time on her hands. Manali used this time to focus on running the business full-time. From there, the company grew very organically and a variety of retailers became interested in both our story and bags.

Indian-Inspired, Women Empowered

One thing that sets us apart is our business’ Indian roots and production partnerships. Each of our bags is made with love in India and gives women there the opportunity to provide for themselves and their families while gaining a sense of independence. For example, these women handcraft our new, standard detachable bag straps. They take their time creating these beautiful and colorful floral patterns
