Our Collection

Our Story

Founded in our hometown of San Clemente, a coastal town by the sea (S.C.), we wanted a name that reflected both our town and our love for adventure. That’s how Essea was born – a nod to the coastal place we call home, the sea, and the journeys we take together.

As a family who loves to explore, we know how important it is to have bags that are not only stylish but also useful. That’s why we decided to work closely with a custom quilted designer and creates bags that travel with you, whether it’s across the globe, to school, work, or just down the street.
