Hi! I'm Anthea
Founder & Designer of Code Republic.
.
My career has always been rooted in design. With a background in Interior Architecture & Design and launching my first fashion label at 18 before going on to spend almost a decade in consumer technology, working with some of the world’s leading laptop brands and developing technology accessories.
.
A combination of design and technical experience that gave me a unique perspective on what women needed from a work bag. Something beautifully considered, but with the organization, protection and functionality our technology demands.
.
In 2016, I returned to my design roots and founded Code Republic, bringing together refined design, exceptional craftsmanship and an understanding of technology rarely found in traditional handbags.
