Pop-up store Tokyo March 2023
On March 3rd, SUSAN BIJL is launching the new collection ‘Insight’ simultaneously in Rotterdam and Tokyo!
Het water komt
’Here Comes The Ocean’ - the slogan from our recent collaboration with Experimental Jetset but also roughly the title of a four-part documentary series that can now be seen on Dutch television.
On production & materials
In the context of our new collection, HERE COMES THE OCEAN, and our collaboration with Plastic Soup Foundation, we want to shed some light on our production process and the materials we use.
SUSAN BIJL X Experimental Jetset
A new collection, launching December 2nd. The slogan “Here Comes the Ocean” is used on the bags and raincoats in a distorted way, wilfully interrupted by the garments’ flashes.
Gift it forward!
We collaborated with Fonds Bijzondere Noden Rotterdam to gift shopping bags to households that have less to spend and could use some Christmas generosity. Join us!
New Collection: Playground
The new collection ‘Playground’ launches September 23rd! New colour combinations and a BRAND NEW BAG: a joyful reminder to free some time and continue to PLAY! The collection also presents 3 new colours: Dusk, Noon and Rise. This results in new colour combinations for The New Trash Bag, The New Bum Bag, The New Shopping Bag and The New Pouch
SUSAN BIJL X Koen Taselaar
June 10th! This collaboration is a celebration of prints. When we initiated this particular collection, Koen Taselaar’s work immediately came to mind. We are thrilled to be working with the Rotterdam based artist.
New Collection: PLAY
Save the date: February 25, 10 AM! Play is a complete SUSAN BIJL collection, featuring all bag designs and the raincoat. This year's colours are sporty, fun and uplifting; they remind us of tennis balls, race tracks and freshly mowed football fields. Susan made combinations that recall sportswear and other memories from the 80s and 90s.
SUSAN BIJL X BONNE
It is no surprise that SUSAN BIJL and BONNE SUITS bonded over the many similar characteristics that distinguish our brands—durable, timeless design for everyday use. Bonne and Susan both started their brands in reaction to the abundance of stuff in their lives. A collaboration was evident.
SUSAN BIJL for Operator
We created two limited-edition bags with Operator—a record bag for 12'' vinyl and a bum bag for sticks, plugs, and your headphones.
New Mirror & Agaat items incoming!
In celebration of the opening of the Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen, we expanded the Mirror & Agaat collection with pouches and protectables.
TRASH & STASH: the new collection
Introducing two new SUSAN BIJL items that are here to stay; The New Trash Bag and The New Stash Bag.
Using your SUSAN BIJL bag years after purchase
Although we know we can’t solve the climate emergency, we at SUSAN BIJL hope to contribute to a better world and inspire people to think about their daily choices. In this blog we want to shed some light on how you can make sure that you can keep using your shopping bag years after you purchased it.
Rotterdam Art Week SB x valerie_objects
In collaboration with valerie_objects and Berry Dijkstra, SUSAN BIJL will present an installation with furniture and interior objects during Rotterdam Art Week.
SUSAN BIJL for Boijmans Van Beuningen
The New Shopping Bag in Mirror & Agaat is back ánd we are very honoured to announce that the silver bag and five prototypes of The New Shopping Bag will be included in the collection of Boijmans Van Beuningen.
New collection: Process
Save the date! Next week we will present a brand new collection: Process. This collection celebrates the universal steps of a process, whether it’s creative or technical. Process launches on Friday, March 12.
New collection: Process
This collection honours the universal steps of a process, using colour names like 'concept', 'make', 'sample' and 'error'. In turbulent 2020 we took our time to review how we worked on a new collection. We rediscovered many fun elements of our process, and even let go of some set-in-stone guidelines. The result is a collection featuring earthy tones and colourful contrasts.
New: The New 24/7 Bag
Brand new by SUSAN BIJL: The New 24/7 Bag. Just as you thought you didn’t need more bags, we thought otherwise. Something was missing in our range of items—a bag for work, the gym ánd weekends away. We wanted to make an upgrade from our backpack, a bag with the volume to bring more than just a laptop.
Recollection is here to stay – a collection with colourful classics
Save the date: Friday, November 20, we will expand ‘Recollection’, a collection with new colourful classics that are here to stay! Just like our ‘Forever’ collection, we will continue ‘Recollection’ in the years to come.
