We at The Bag People believe that there are simply too many great fabrics going to waste every year, and it is a shame to let our landfills fill up with perfectly reusable textiles.  So we thought, hey, why not turn that out-of-style shirt or Aunt Ida's ugly tablecloth into something beautiful.......a work of art, if you will?  That was the impetus for our bags.  (Well, that, and we really like designing and making bags!) 

 Nowadays, it is almost necessary to bring your own bags wherever you go.  Use them for your groceries.  Some grocery stores even offer a discount for bringing your own bags.  Use them to carry books from the library, buy them as a gift, or make a fashion statement with them.  Our bags are beautiful, as well as functional, so we are confident that you will use them for just about anything and everything!

 The majority of our bags are constructed of a combination of reclaimed and repurposed materials, and new fabrics that are unique in design.  We will tell you in the description whether they are made of repurposed or new fabrics, or if they are made of both!  In any case, all of our bags are designed by an actual professional artist.  As our materials come from many sources, and are handmade, we guarantee that our bags are one-of-a-kind.  Imagine that!  You can be the envy of all your friends, yet you won't have to be afraid to share your source.  We will never make another bag exactly like yours!   We are very proud of the fact that we are helping our world through recycling and by adding a little more beauty.  Our world can always use a little more of that!

 With our attention to detail, beautiful designs, and fantastic mixing of textures and colors, we know you will be proud to wear a bag made by The Bag People anywhere!
