Gouache creates stylish specialty bags for the active, artistic urbanites and the adventure lovers.

How it started

Recognized for their stylish bags and appeal among young professionals in the city, Gouache Waxed Canvas & Leather Goods continues to make their mark in both the local and international scene with their impressive handcrafted products. With each product sporting the classic look of leather paired with modern craftsmanship, it’s no surprise that Gouache bags continue to be a hit for those living the contemporary urban lifestyle.

If one were to trace the success of Gouache, it definitely begins with the owners Louie Poco and Ann Enriquez. What started as an impulse for Louie to find a sensible and functional camera bag back in 2013 turned into an entrepreneurial stroke of genius: why not create our own bag? A successful crowd-funding stint in The Spark Project led them to partnerships with local bag makers and artisans in Marikina to create the first few batches of bags in the now unmistakable Gouache style. Their collaboration extends not only to design but also to project management solutions and market opportunities.

Since then, Gouache hasn’t looked back--their expansive catalog includes, of course, the camera bags, but now they have it alongside satchels, pouches, aprons, camera straps, purses, totes, and other beautiful waxed canvas products.
