Founded in 2025, Bongo Bags is proudly based in Bangladesh. We’re deeply rooted in the belief that fashion can drive change — especially when it’s built on sustainability. Whenever possible, we use renewable and recyclable materials, and we operate following principles that support ecological balance and environmental responsibility.
At Bongo Bags, our philosophy is simple yet powerful: we want to create a meaningful environmental impact through design, innovation, and style. Bangladesh, like many developing nations, faces severe challenges from single-use plastic — clogged drains in Dhaka city, waterlogging during monsoon, and polluted rivers like the Buriganga bear testimony to this growing crisis. These plastics don’t just pollute; they endanger wildlife, damage ecosystems, and threaten public health.
Globally, massive plastic dumps like the so-called “plastic island” in the Pacific Ocean — made of billions of pounds of waste — are reminders of what happens when sustainability is ignored. Locally, the effects are just as devastating. That’s why Bongo Bags® has committed itself to be part of the solution.
Our reusable bags are lightweight, portable, waterproof — and can replace up to 5,000 single-use plastic bags over their lifetime. By combining sustainability with attractive, functional design, we’re changing how people shop, carry, and live — one bag at a time.

We understand the irony — our bags are made from polyester, a plastic-based fabric. But the issue with plastic isn’t just the material — it’s the misuse. Disposable plastic bags are designed for single use; our bags are built to last for years.
Why We Use Polyester:
- It’s ultralight and easy to carry — increasing the chances you’ll reuse it
- Sublimation printing ensures designs never fade
- It’s strong and durable, meaning fewer replacements over time
- It’s cost-effective, so more people across Bangladesh can afford to switch to reusables
After careful consideration, we chose polyester not because it’s perfect, but because it enables us to make a long-lasting, reusable, and stylish bag that people will actually carry and use — and that’s how real impact begins.
