Frustrated by the lack of functional, appropriately-sized bags available for children, sisters Susan Givens and Carol Mack teamed up to create Dabbawalla Bags. Inspired by the functional simplicity of European design, the launch product line is sized specifically for young children. You’ll find no cartoon characters or action figures, no utilitarian oversized styles that mimic adult bags – just simple, colourful designs that kids of all ages can relate to. Dabbawalla bags are hand sewn by a woman-owned and operated sewing facility in rural Taiwan where employees are paid fair wages and given family benefits. The bags are not mass-produced – each bag is produced by women who take great pride in their work.
