The story of these bags began in the rural farmlands of Cambodia where a local woman decided to take action in her community. Farmers were not only living in poverty but also in a toxic environment. This woman noticed that the bags used for processing and shipping of fish and animal feed, cement, and other products were piling up and not being disposed of properly. She began purchasing the discarded materials from the communities and recycling it. She then employed local families to wash, dry and sew the materials into durable, water-resistant and colorful tote bags.

While visiting a night market in Cambodia, she became inspired to create a company that contributes to Cambodian artisans’ well being while encouraging style with a global conscience.

Developing relationships with more artisans in Cambodia, she is now employing communities who have been displaced from their farmlands or affected by landmines or polio.
