OUR HISTORY

Due to the loss of a bulky file containing important documents, the YAKA adventure begins ….

 


“The best way to get started is to stop talking and get to work.”


Walt Disney

Alexandra Lousse (CEO) & Joël De Jonck (COO) are co-founders of the YaKa Company. Alexandra Lousse is the inventor of the first UNIVERSAL briefcase.

We have all, one day, found ourselves with a file, a briefcase, in our hands. It is difficult to carry them, the contents get damaged… A folder is so bulky, how can you carry it easily? …. We all know this feeling as students and in our professional life.

Is there a solution? Now YES!

Two years of development will be necessary to create this object that we wanted to be fun, light, solid, colorful, practical, surprising, eco-friendly and UNIVERSAL.

A requirement: That our invention is able to bring a solution to all files, A4 document holders in order to be transported in all lightness, hands free!

Gauthier Poulain, designer, joined us in the adventure to give birth to our first product.

“The best things that happen in the corporate world are not the result of one man’s work. It’s the work of a whole team.
