Founded in 2021, Maya Terzi has been independently running Cha$e a bag co. since she was 15. From apparel design to marketing, Maya is proud to say that Cha$e a bag co. is a 100% woman-owned and founded company based in Newton, MA.

"My entrepreneurial journey did not start at age 15. I have been passionate about the business world since I was just 9 years old. My first small business consisted of hand-knitting hats to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Boston Marathon. From there, I created several micro-businesses to channel my creativity. Fast forward 6 years, when my love for sneakers and streetwear culture merged with my passion for business, and Cha$e a bag co. was born.

My vision is to craft goods that reflect the hustle toward goals, dreams, and the bag—while giving back to the community. We focus on partnering with nonprofits, supporting fundraisers, and contributing to initiatives that build stronger, more connected communities. Every drop is designed not only to elevate style but also to make a positive impact where it’s needed most."
