Behind the Bags

From the start, our goal has been simple; we want to do better than what is already being done.

  • Better Principles.
  • Better Practices.
  • Better Products.
For us, this starts with exceptional employee care. Our team is currently composed of 5 women. We work hard to provide them with livable wages, personal growth opportunities, and a sustainable path forward.

We are looking forward to having a space lined up for onsite childcare as we grow and employ more mamas!

All of this to say, it’s about more than just bags to us. The next time you’re shopping and comparing prices, just remember… if you aren’t paying for it, someone else is.

  • HANDMADE IN KENYA

    We are committed to providing dignified work for communities in Kenya. We want to make a better future by doing right in the present. We’re aiming to building over 100 jobs for people who have been left behind by the global economy.

  • HELP OUR PLANET

    Our products are made with sustainably grown cotton and Vegan leather. Sustainable industry is key to a thriving planet for everyone. Our products are not made in a corporate factory, they're made with care to benefit generations to come. We do not package our products in plastic.

  • FOR A GOOD CAUSE

    Your money is not going to some mega corporation or factory, it's going to a good cause that will benefit generations to come. Our business is not only driven by profit, but with a mission to lift people out of generational poverty.

  • BLACK OWNED. WOMAN OWNED.

    Wealth inequality is a story of gender and racial inequality. We believe that providing opportunities to traditionally underrepresented people is the best way to make a difference. Vote for equality with how you spend your money. Buy black owned. Buy woman owned.
