bags OF BEAUTY, that are lovely to hold, AND ARE DEFINITELY NOT PLASTIC


Hi - I am Alison and I like to make cotton 'bagsbies'. One day I thought it would be fun if the bag I was about to give to someone had to keep moving. Like a hot potato, you weren't supposed to hold on to it, you had to pass it on.
For me, these Travelling Bagsbies also carry a message: 'we don't need plastic, and we like a bit of beauty'. My friend, Janis, sees them carrying a little kindness as they pass from person to person on their unique journeys, linking us all together.
Each bag gives without expecting anything in return.
This little website is simply to follow the jouneys,
to share the stories, and have some fun with our
functional free Travelling Bagsby!
Please reach us at hello@bagsby.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Congratulations - you are a temporary keeper of a Travelling Bagsby! Now go to the 'Contact Us' section and let us know where you are and what the bag carried/will carry - and we will update the story on this website. if you can send a photo that would really make our story come alive!
Travelling Bagsbies are free!
Many people love the bags because they are cotton, not plastic, have super soft handles, extra strong seams and can be washed and ironed to look like new! If you would like one, we should shortly be able to offer you an Original Bagsby to keep. Drop us a line and we will notify you when we are set up for selling Original Bagsbies.
At the moment the Travelling Bagsbies are funded by us. We are toying with the idea of selling some larger 'original' bagsbies, to fund the free ones,
A Travelling Bagsby is given for free. It is passed from one person to the next carrying a little something. It waits until a person has something to give someone, then it moves on again. This website is tracking where its going and what its carrying, creating a bag 'story'. It's all just to make you smile, and perhaps reflect every now and again that bags don't have to be plastic.
An Original Bagsby is the same design with soft handles, strong seams and 100% cotton but is larger and great for shopping. You can keep this one and enjoy using it for many years to come!
Have a look at 'The Bag Travels', above.
Check the Number of your bag (on the 'ticket').
Tell us a little about it and we'll update the story of your Travelling Bagsby.
if you can also send a photo, that will really bring your story alive!
