With a capital of Rp 300 million, in May 2000 they set up a workshop making bags with renting a house, which is located right in front of the Ng family residence in West Jakarta. At that time, they only hire 5 employees.

World public figures who wore Bagteria bags include Paris Hilton, Zara Phillips (grandson of Queen Elizabeth II), Emma Thomson, and Audrey Tatou.
