It all begins with an idea.

Owner and designer, Kendall Zundel started Lu & Elle as a way to marry some of her favorite things; travel, community and giving back. Always inspired by the So Cal lifestyle, the bags are thoughtfully designed and embody a relaxed, yet playful wanderlust vibe.

Each year, we are proud to give a portion of all retail sales to a charity of choice. For the year 2022, we were thrilled to give to two charities close to our hearts, Baby 2 Baby and Traveling Paws.

Kendall lives in the Seattle area with her husband Kyle and their son, Owen.
