CONCEPT
To be honest, I think the best bag is one that doesn’t look like a normal bag. Even if it’s a little bit inconvenient to carry, my ideal bag is not “bag-like”.
I want to hold it in my hand.
I want to hang it from my shoulder.
I want to wear it on my back.
In the pursuit of convenience and usability, I think most bags are bland, boring and worse, when the user’s needs change or evolve, you’re left with something that is now useless.
In the real world, that feeling of joy and excitement that you get when you’re holding a bag you love wins over convenience every time.

FABRICS
Apart from some limited special editions, our bags are all made using Japanese canvas and nylon fabrics.
We use standard, commercially available colors, so it could be said there’s nothing particularly special about our bags.
This could not be further from the truth.
The level of quality of the domestically produced fabrics is extremely high, and production is dependable and reliable.
This is why our bags are so special,and this is the reason we’ll continue to source Japanese fabrics.
FACTORY
Right from the very first bags we produced in the beginning, all BAG ‘n’ NOUN products are made in only one factory.
If the factory can’t produce a particular design, we don’t develop it.
If the factory can’t keep up with orders, then we scale back production.
Everything, from the design of the products, to the manufacturing and the quality control is based around our production ability.
We don’t believe in mass production and increasing sales.
This is our philosophy and we won’t change.
