ABOUT
It has been almost 10 years, May 2003, since we received our first collection of the nylon shopping bag in 10 colors and 41 different variations. We never thought, when we started, we would still be working on the same bag today!
The story of how this all happened, has been told many times: in interviews, newspapers, magazines and even on television. From the first bags that Susan sewed at her studio and directly sold to friends and family, to the first orders from our website 10 years ago, to the responses we have been receiving weekly from all over the world.
It is this personal involvement of our fans that is of essential importance to us to continue on this bizarre ride. It is your enthusiasm that helps us spread out The New Shoppingbag to friends and family in The Netherlands and on to people all over the world, from Australia to Scandinavia in more than a 200 variations.
This year we celebrate our 10th anniversary with a new site, new collection and even some new products coming up! So sign up for our newsletter, have a look around and keep in touch on Facebook!
PRODUCT
It is no secret that the Susan Bijl bag was inspired by the good old plastic bag. You could even call it a tribute. Our bag is made from 100% ripstop nylon, a textile that is used for manufacturing kites. It is also water repellent, but don’t go and have a swim with it.
The bag is superlightweight and easy to fold up really small, so it fits in all your other bags. And did we mention it is superstrong too? So imagine all the nice stuff you can carry around with you all day!
With its modernist design, signature flash and unlimited possible colour variations, the Susan Bijl bags significantly stand out from other manufacturers of ‘daily’ bags and carriers.
