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 four and a half 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 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.
