Anthea Rowan - Designer, Founder & CEO, Code Republic 
-

Code Republic was born out of a vision to bridge the gap in the market for premium, chic laptop bags tailored specifically for professional women. Recognizing the lack of options that exuded elegance and sophistication, our founder embarked on a mission to create a brand that not only offered functionality but also celebrated the unique empowerment of modern businesswomen.

Our journey began in 2016 in Sydney, Australia, and has since expanded to the United States, with offices in LA and Seattle. We've become a global presence, shipping our luxury leather goods worldwide from our distribution warehouse in Boise, Idaho.

At the heart of our brand lies a subtle rebellious ideology—a call to bold and progressive women who seek to redefine traditional standards of professionalism. We embody a blend of style, sophistication, and femininity, inspiring elegance with an unmistakable air of confidence.

Our designer handbags are more than mere accessories; they're an extension of the modern woman's confidence and assertiveness in the boardroom. Crafted with strength, boldness, and logical precision, they match the unwavering determination of the women who carry them.

The Republic in our sense, is reached by women in business who are bold and progressive, evolving into a new more modern, socially inclusive club where #Smart-is-the-new-sexy. We are stylish, sophisticated and feminine, but not dainty or weak. We Inspire elegance but also come with a “don’t mess with me” air.

Our founder, Anthea Rowan, brings a wealth of experience and passion to the brand. With a background in fashion design and consumer tech, she recognized the need for premium Women's tech accessories that matched the elegance of high-end laptops and the Women who use them. In 2016, she returned to her fashion roots and launched Code Republic, blending rebellious feminine elegance with tech-centric features.

Today, Code Republic is a symbol of empowerment, strength, and sophistication. Our luxury brand is carried on the arms of celebrities and recognized globally for its innovative design and unrivaled craftsmanship. Join us on our journey to empower professional women worldwide with our sleek, classic luxury work bags that blend elegance with innovation.
