The 25 year old designer started with manufacturing and designing purses in his home town - Santa Barbara, California. However, by today he has been working passionately and hardly to establish Big Buddha as the leader and front runner of fashionable and affordable bags for women, which are so seldom in the market today.

 Bassan designs handbags for the modern woman who may juggle a career, school, or a family. Big Buddha bags are eco-friendly, stylish, fun and won’t break the bank. Bassan keeps busy overseeing every aspect of Big Buddha design and production”, - states the company, highlighting the main role of its founder in the company’s activities.

Big Buddha bags are created for women of any age, style and preferences – starting from different classic styles and ending with funny and sassy forms. The company works with innovative designing techniques and continues to change for it to adopt to latest fashion trends.
