Natalia Konovalova fell in love with fashion because of the inspiration of her mother. After winning the Princess Kazulkum contest, Natalia made her way to the US where she began a modeling career. Her introduction to the American fashion circuit brought out her love of fashion even more. It allowed her to be expressive, and creative. Natalia studied women’s fashion at the Fashion Institute of Technology in NY, and graduated with her Bachelors of Arts degree. Once her schooling had ended, Natalia was hit with the realization that the fashion market was absolutely filled to overflowing with handbags that were so expensive people didn't have the money left over after buying them to put any in the bags.

She decided to try her hand at making handbags. At first she worked under the name, Kono Valova, but decided later that she wanted a name for her bags that was more unique. She came up with the name, Bulga, which is Latin for bag, and the Bulga Handbag was born.

This product was created for the confident, independent woman and invokes a feeling of sophistication, culture, and art. The Bulga handbag is fashioned with Natalia's favorite material: leather. Because they are made with leather, the bags seem ageless, and only grow in elegance. These come in a variety of colors: fuchsia, purple, white, teal, yellow sand, safari yellow, and taupe. Bulga bags also have flair of rock and roll; many bags fringed in tassels, studs, and hardware that blend magnificently with the well tailored leather. Thank heavens that there is plenty of room in the bag, making it practical as well as beautiful, but not a pain in the pocket.

Called the "it bags"; Bulga Handbags are toted, carried, and supported by female celebrities from all over. The popularity of the product can be easily seen by the magazine reading public, as well as being featured in People Magazine.

Even though the Bulga handbag has had monumental success, Natalia hasn't stopped dreaming of grander, more beautiful bags. She has her future ahead of her and is intelligent enough to know that she is a success now and should continue being one, deciding to eventually carry over into a clothing line. Natalia creates, not just to express herself, but to also help every woman with their expression.
