Founded by India-born entrepreneur and mother Manali Shah in 2012, CB Station began as an eBay store run out of Manali’s own garage. She ran it part-time, selling individual bags, all while raising her young sons. Once her boys started elementary school, Manali started working on CB Station full-time. From there, retailers started to take an interest and the business organically expanded.
CB Station has now grown to become a full-fledged, woman-owned, and operated organization in just 10 years!
Now that Manali has become a full-time, successful business owner, she is always looking for ways to give back. Even when developing new products, she keeps in mind her culture and how she can empower other women. For instance, our new detachable straps are inspired by Indian embroidery and are made by incredibly talented women there. Just by creating a single product inspired by her home, CB Station has given these women jobs and empowered them to be independent.
