Trying to think of the perfect present for your loved one this festive season? Don't worry our O My Bag team is here to offer gifting inspiration for all your loved ones.

In one of our earlier blogs we’ve asked about your relationship with Fast Fashion. Do you have a toxic relationship with fast fashion? We have the solution! The so-called Capsule Wardrobe challenges you to downsize your wardrobe to 40 pieces, that can be mixed into countless matching combinations. Why is this more sustainable? You’ll fight the urge to purchase trendy and seasonal items, and invest in long lasting treasures.

Welcome to my first blog post. I am Leonie, the new Sustainability Manager at O My Bag. I ensure that as a company we’re taking every step possible to minimize our environmental footprint and maximize our social impact. Every couple of months I’ll be posting updates on our sustainable journey, our big goals, and how we’re going to achieve them.

If there’s one thing the O My Bag team likes to do, its enjoy good food! We love sharing recipes and discuss how we can contribute more to our sustainable journey. This month we took part in #organicseptember, set up by the UK soil organization to promote local and organic produce. They aim to take action together to create a better food and farming system, which produces healthy food and protects the planet.

O My Bag partnered with the amazing artist Sophie Goderie to create a unique hand-painted O My Bag and wallet. In this blog we interview Sophie to discuss her inspiration for the project.

Some would argue that it’s the most wonderful time of the year: festival season. Festival bags can be tricky because there are items you need (phone, earplugs, cash, your ID, sunglasses etc) but you don’t want to bring too many things that will weigh you down. Here’s our list of bags that are ideal for dancing and mingling, but will keep everything safe while you enjoy the festival.

At the O My Bag HQ, we often find ourselves discussing issues surrounding sustainability over a coffee or during our lunch break. Lately, single-use plastic has been a hot topic of conversation. Our Visual Brand Designer Hayley has been attempting to cut out single-use plastic completely which has inspired many of us to look at our plastic use too. This lead to a 1 week challenge of eliminating single-use plastic from our lunch purchases.

Whether you’re after a tech-savvy handbag, a roomy flap-over messenger bag or a good old backpack: we’ve selected some of our favorite work bags to get you from Monday to Friday in the most stylish way.

If you’re racking your brain for a gift for him, we at O My Bag want to help you out. Here are some of our favorites for all the deserving dudes out there.

Whether you are aware of it or not, almost everyone who dresses has a relationship with ‘fast fashion’. We write this blog during Fashion Revolution Week 2019, 22nd-28th April, a time perfect to reflect on this relationship on a critical level and have a conversation about our fashion love habits.

Since we’re an eco-friendly brand, we try to make the world around us happy by using business as a force for good, we decided to participate in Black Friday in a positive way, by donating the profits to a cause we’re passionate about.

We believe Fashion Revolution Week is a moment to celebrate the women – both the wearers and the makers. We’ve put together a list of brands we love that actively empower female workers and create beautiful fashion. These businesses employ, support, and help vulnerable women across the world and their female-led initiatives are sure to inspire you.

O My Boss Paulien looks back on 2018, reflecting on O My Bags business year and her personal life. With some key highlights from 2018.

We believe one of the most responsible things we can do for our planet is to only make high-quality products that can be worn and used for years. The durability and timeless style of a quality leather bag or item is undeniable. We help you to take good care of your leather purchases, because with a little love and care your bag will last for years, even decades!

Our production trip has been an eye-opening experience for me (Indra). This was my first time in India ever and I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to join Jess. Looking back, it has been even more impressive than I imagined beforehand.

Spring weekend trips: they may be short but they could be the escape you so desperately need. Whether you’re jetting off for a weekend to party in Ibiza or heading out for a family trip to the countryside, there’s a lot to be said for the magic of weekend vacation. Finding the perfect travel bag to join you is always tricky - it shouldn't be too big nor should it be too small. Utility is so important, but so is looking stylish when you arrive at your destination. Below, we’ve featured some of our best bags for weekend trips!

We celebrate used products and encourage our customers to repair them whenever possible. That's why we came up with a special initiative.

During this week we want you to stand up against the fast fashion brands that are exploiting labour and natural resources.

Two weeks ago O My Bag’s sales manager Loes went to Japan, to explore this market where people seem to look flawless 24/7 and outfits are always on point. We explored Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka and fell in love with the country big time!

Paulien Wesselink, Founder and CEO of O MY BAG answers all your questions.
