| The company was started in Brisbane Australia in 2005 with the Bottle Sack Design. Roz & Kevin Palmer-Bood are owners and designers. Last year we came back to the U.K. and have branched out with new designs. We believe that sensible doesn't have to mean boring, and we are trying to put this across in our design in bags. We want the young and old to be able to think about what they are using for packaging and take steps to clean up the environment.
Plastic plays such a big part in our everyday life, that it is really nescesary to stop and thinks about how we can change our ways.
Take a look at our colours and designs, make the hessian fabric second nature instead of Plastic bags, Buy your children, aunts, Uncles parents a hessian bag or gift product and lets get the world back to a good ecological state.
Our Hessian designs are made in India under a socially-conscious company and law-abiding in every sense of the word.
Jute is a natural golden fibre, it is symbolic to be coarse, strong, tough and sturdy but has been refined and revolutionised by the environmentally fashion industry and incorporated in its various products. Being 100 percent natural product it can be incorporated in good measures worldwide. The importance of jute in the fashion industry is evolving and its use is rapidly increasing in the extremely bio-conscious fashion world.
