Our Story

In a global world of mega-merchandising, Dabbawalla Bags stands apart and we couldn’t be more proud. We are a small, Seattle-based company that believes fun and function don't have to compromise manufacturing ethics or environmental stewardship. We offer well-designed, modern bags made from sustainable materials that are washable, functional and stylish enough to stand out from the crowd.

Inspired by the legendary system of dabbawallas delivering homemade food to office workers in India, Dabbawalla Bags offers a modern twist for adventurers of all ages to tote lunch and gear in style.

We are so appreciative of our loyal customers who have supported us since our humble beginnings in 2008 and to those who have found us along the way. We are a bootstrap-company, growing organically and inspired by our customers who reach out to us to provide suggestions.  And as we continue to grow and expand our product line, one thing will never change – our commitment to providing quality bags that are as unique as the individual that carries them.  

We love hearing from our customers. We are not some big corporate office or fulfillment center. We're just a few hard working folks who actually answer the phone ourselves while filling orders. Give us a call - especially if you don't mind the odd four footed friend barking in the background.
