HELLO
Thank you for stopping by DEED bags. The website is currently paused for the month of May, and will re-open in June with some exciting news! Please feel free to browse the website - you will see that all 'buy' buttons have been disabled.
My thanks to all the wonderful ladies who have chosen to change the world for the better these past four years with a hand made DEED bag - it's perfectly possible to be planet-friendly AND stylish!
2020 and 2021 have been very challenging years for everyone. I'm eternally grateful to have been very busy in my studio during this unsettling time - it's true to say that 'busy hands bring a calm mind' :)
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.
To keep up-to-date with all the latest news, please do keep following DEED bags on Instagram and Facebook .
Wishing everyone a happy and healthy 2022.

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 facemask) sold, PLUS 100% of four social media Charity Bag Auctions throughout the year. To date, Emma and her DEED bags have donated more than $4,500 to Ardoch, in addition to donating DEED bags to many other charity fundraising functions.
