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.
