We sat down with our Production Manager Jessica, and asked all your burning questions relating to our production process, from how COVID has impacted the process to her personal relationship with our suppliers in India.

Here we are, eleven collections later, and many more to come, but you never forget your first time. We look over O My Bag's 'firsts' over the past 10 years. From Paulien’s very first trip to India, to opening our first store and now, celebrating our 10 year anniversary.

At O My Bag we will continue to innovate. From our material choice, to our sustainability goals, we’re always looking for the opportunity to go one step further. Most recently, to accommodate our customers who prefer animal-free products, we've been on the lookout for a durable, low-impact leather alternative and we finally found it in - Uppeal™! - a vegan leather alternative made from residual apple waste.

So, here we are, 10 years later, doing what we love: changing the world, one bag at a time. But we couldn’t have done it on our own, so we wanted to celebrate those who are part of the O My Bag Story. Read Paulien’s Letter to see where it all started!
