HELLO
Thank you for stopping by DEED bags.
My thanks to all the wonderful ladies who have chosen to change the world for the better these past five years with a hand made DEED bag - it's perfectly possible to be planet-friendly AND stylish!
My gratitude too, for the continued generosity of our wonderful DEED bags community in our Instagram 'Wear Your Heart on Your Bag' Charity Bag auctions, where 100% of the winning bids are donated to the children's education charity Ardoch. More than $6,000 has been donated to Ardoch to date.
PLEASE NOTE: MY MADE-TO-ORDER SERVICE IS NOW CLOSED FOR 2022.
I'll be placing a small number of limited edition DEED bags on the website in the CHRISTMAS 2022 COLLECTION in late November / early December. (A late case of Covid has put me a few weeks behind, I'm afraid!!)
As always, please keep up-to-date with all the latest news by following DEED bags on Instagram and Facebook .
Also, on the eve of DEED bags' 5th Anniversary, I'd like to announce that in 2023, DEED bags will be transitioning to a new retail model of ready-made limited edition collections, plus a BESPOKE service only. This lovely development has been organically taking place over the past 12 months, and seems like a really nice sweet spot for my design evolution and the use of my time - as I'm increasingly busy over at my 'author's desk these days, too.
Warmest thanks to everyone for coming on the DEED bags journey with me so far. It has been nothing but pure joy :)

DEEDS not Words
DEED bags (Est. Nov 2017) is a small boutique atelier of bespoke tote bags with a big heart, based in Melbourne, Australia.
All DEED bags are designed and handmade by founder Emma Bowd, using natural fibre fabrics; plus upcylced, vintage and premium interior design fabrics which have been sourced as factory deadstock, off-cuts and end-of-runs, saving them from landfill.
As a planet-friendly DEED bag owner, you're not only helping to end the era of single-use plastic bags, but you're also helping to raise awareness and funds for the education charity, Ardoch, which supports children and young people in disadvantaged Australian communities.
Emma is a 'Literacy Ambassador' and 'Writer in Residence' for Ardoch, and passionately believes that education is the key to being an informed and engaged citizen.
DEED bags is proud to donate $1 to Ardoch from every bag (and other handmade products, such as facemasks and accessories) sold, PLUS 100% of four social media Charity Bag Auctions throughout the year. To date, Emma and her DEED bags have donated $6,000 to Ardoch, in addition to donating DEED bags to many other charity fundraising functions.
