Raffa
My name is Raffaella Caldera, and I was born in Busto Arsizio under the bold and passionate sign of Leo, on July 24, 1975.
I come from a family rooted in hard work, resilience, and a love for the simple, meaningful things in life.
My grandfather Carlo—one of the finest people I’ve ever known—was a master carpenter, known for his craftsmanship and dedication to quality. I spent countless hours by his side, learning not only about wood and tools, but about integrity, patience, and the value of a job well done. He was meticulous, kind, and deeply respected.
My father, Gerolamo, with the same spirit of passion and sacrifice, started from scratch and built his own mechanical workshop. Through years of dedication, he turned it into something lasting—something of his own.
In 2017, I lost my beloved dog Kiki. Her absence left a deep mark on me. Soon after, I welcomed a new puppy into my life—Cash.
From the beginning, I brought Cash everywhere with me—whether I was working, traveling, or meeting clients. But I quickly realized something was missing. I needed a bag that wasn’t just a pet carrier, but a beautiful, functional, and stylish companion to my daily life. A bag for my essentials—and a space for my dog. One that didn’t sacrifice aesthetics for practicality.
What I found on the market were either carriers or handbags—but never both.
So I decided to create it myself.
That’s how Bag for Two was born:
A patented design that combines elegance, functionality, and love.
A space for you, and a space for your dog—together, always.
After finishing school, I chose to spend time in my father’s workshop. It was an incredible experience—one that taught me the true value of craftsmanship, the importance of putting passion and precision into everything you do, and what it really means to be a professional.
From my grandfather Carlo, I learned how to listen, how to treat customers with warmth and respect, and how the smallest details make all the difference.
From my father Gerolamo, I learned that passion is the foundation of success—whatever the path.
Now, it’s my turn.
And that’s how CARA was born.
