About Arturo Arboleda
Madera Bags was founded by Arturo Arboleda, a retired pilot and seasoned entrepreneur with a diverse background in real estate development, helicopter air tours, and automotive sales. Those varied ventures — some successful, some instructive — shaped a pragmatic approach to business and a commitment to quality.
Carpentry and design have been constant passions since Arturo’s high school days. At Madera Bags, that lifetime of hands‑on experience informs every stage of the process: thoughtful design, careful material selection, and disciplined craftsmanship. Our products are created to be functional, durable, and timeless—everyday pieces built to perform.
Family and balance guide our work. Arturo values time with his wife and daughters and channels that same care into each item we produce. Whether crafting a classic carry piece or collaborating on a custom design, Madera Bags blends practical engineering with refined woodworking to deliver products you can rely on.
If you’re seeking well‑made, purposeful accessories or a custom solution, we welcome your inquiries.
