Our Story

Even though a simple idea, our mission is not.

In 2012 my then 12 year old daughter wanted desperately to help the environment.  As an animal and nature lover for as long as I can remember this was something Clancy was passionate about..

Our family has always been deeply tied to nature, animals, and the ethos to live simply. This was the motivating factor for looking after our environment and all that belongs to it.

Owning horses, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, birds...   we as a family were throwing out hundreds of stock feed bags in a year, and thats not to mention our friends and family who also owned multiple animals. This drew Clancy to the idea of repurposing them to save these bags from ending up in landfill. We have saved thousands over the past 10 years.

A few prototypes, processes, and redesigns later the NAGZ BAG was created. We have strived from that day on, to make every bag different. No two bags have ever had the same backing or lining as the next. Giving us a little nod to the "designer bag" experience for the animal loving, environmentally conscious community, just like us. 

To this day the original bag is still going strong. Being used weekly for groceries, a gym bag, and even inside out to keep muddy boots contained in the truck!!  

Our humble handmade bags are only a small contribution to what ends up in landfill, but we trust.. one by one our bags are making a difference. 

The original NAGZ BAG going strong 11 years later!
