BANNER Bag Origin Story:

Every BANNER Bag was once an event or party.

A chocolate brand. A distillery launch. An opera in the park. Art galleries, music festivals, events across Nelson and New Zealand. When the banners come down, Emma picks them up.

The vinyl is tough, weatherproof, and built to last years of use. The straps come from Seat Smart, NZ's infant car seat recycling scheme. The logo is recycled silicone.

Every single bag is unique. The colours, fonts, and patterns depend entirely on which banners have come in.

One of a kind. Because it literally is.
