The cult-classic Baggu reusable bag is just one of many great products Baggu serves up!
From cheerful designs, hue happy colors, and high-quality design, there is certainly a lot to love on the items they sell. However, the real heart of the Baggu company lies with the founder Emily Sugihara and her mission to make reusable bags more readily available in the US.
Emily had discovered that in Japan affordable and well-designed reusable bags were readily available. Now, this was over a decade and a half ago. While sustainability was talked about, there weren’t a lot of offerings in the US market. Furthermore, according to the Harvard Business Journal’s 2019 July/August magazine edition, a survey explained that while Americans and millennials said they wanted sustainable products, they weren’t necessarily backing that up with sales. While today that seems hard to believe, back in 2007 around the time Emily partnered with her mom Joan to launch Baggu, it was well needed.
Today the Baggu brand, whose standard Baggu reusable bag remains a top seller, offers Baggu Puffy lunch bag totes and Baggu puffy laptop sleeve products both in various colors and patterns, as well as leather wallets, Baggu glasses case sleeves, and more. Best of all, sustainability is still at the forefront of every product and design!
“Baggu’s sustainability efforts focused on the elimination and minimization of waste in our operations and production processes…” You can learn more about and their sustainability efforts here.
