One bag, countless dreams

Popups bags and Construyendo Futuros together for the childrens

PopUps Brand X Construyendo Futuros emerges as a meaningful initiative spearheaded by Alexandra Winkler, Andrea Cohen, and Thalma Cohen. United by a shared passion for their home country, Venezuela, these two Venezuelans, founders of PopUps, have teamed up with Thalma Cohen from Construyendo Futuros to make a difference in the lives of children through education and the promise of a brighter future.

PopUps, initially a brainchild of best friends Andrea Cohen and Alexandra Winkler in Venezuela, has evolved since its inception in 2016. With its roots nowfirmly established in Miami, the brand has flourished. Fueled by a deep connection to their homeland, they approached Construyendo Futuros with a unique proposition- to design a special bag, with all proceeds dedicated to the education and well-being of Venezuelan children.

Construyendo Futuros, a non-profit civil association committed to providing comprehensive education and entrepreneurial programs, has dedicated 12 years to uplifting vulnerable communities with limited resources.

The heart of the project lies in showcasing the artistic expressions of children from underprivileged communities. Prompted with the question, "Draw something that makes you happy", these drawings have been thoughtfully imprinted onto PopUps handbags. Every bag and pouch purchased from this collection ensures 100% of the proceeds go to Construyendo Futuros, directly supporting the education of Venezuelan children.
