I love my Bagmaya yoga matt
I love my Bagmaya yoga matt. It is so gorgeous and the ethics of the brand are just amazing. I always look into what a brand is doing to be sustainable and support charities before shopping with them. I love going to Yoga with my bag and always get so many comments.

Beautiful and sturdy backpack :)
I absolutely love my backpack from Bagmaya! I'm a photographer and needed something that would hold my camper plus everything I need for a hike. I got the Vic backpack and I really love the water bottle holders, they are really deep and theres no chance of my bottle falling out even while I'm climbing.
I'm really happy with the number of pockets for things I need easy access to. There is even a secret pocket for my wallet.
The material of the bag feels really strong and hardwearing, the straps feel sturdy and comfortable on my back.
Another thing I love about this bag is how damn photogenic it is :) I love the natural tones, they come out absolutely gorgeous in photos as well as looking lovely in real life. I get so many compliments when I'm using this bag.
On top of all this, its ethical and sustainable.

Great innovative brand
Great innovative brand with sustainable bags and a social impact. The design of their website is fresh with a good user experience and quality images. I bought a couple of bags from them and they arrived quickly in perfect condition. I feel I am contributing to a good cause with my purchase and I also enjoy a bag with a lot of personality. Very recommended!

Best purchase ever
Best purchase ever. I saw the ad on Facebook and I researched some of the reviews. I never thought I could help the environment by using a hemp backpack instead of a normal one, but here we go!
I've used it mostly for going to the gym, travel and cycling to work. It's comfortable and always gets compliments from friends.

Excellent purchase
I was shopping around for sustainably sourced hemp bag and came accross Bagmaya's Dhakla bag pack. I purchased the one in navy blue colour and it arrived very quickly to my surprise. The quality of fabric is outstanding and the bag is very versatile. I'd not hesitate to recommend this bag to anyone looking to buy ethically made bags.

Best backpack I have ever purchased
We so often buy a product because we like the look of it and how it makes us feel. But so often, someone else somewhere else is paying the price of our consumption. Bagmaya have really bridged the gap between a ‘feel good bag’, but that has a genuine positive impact on everyone.
I am really impressed with how the bag is made I.e. using sustainable materials like hemp for the fabric and flowers for dye colours etc. but even more impressed with the opportunities it provides to communities at risk. You make a difference in buying this bag while maintaining a really cool design.
My experience with the Bagmaya has been very positive. I am often asked how the bag is coping, if there are any problems with it and to give my honest opinion of the bag. This shows the transparency and integrity on Bagmaya’s part.
The bag I purchased has stood the test of adventure and English weather! It has both maintained its shape and quality after being in torrential rain, wind and exposure to mud! I have travelled long distances running and skating with this bag (over 80 miles) and it still holds up well. Apart from the shoulder strap buckle coming loose when running, which only happens if I run, I cannot fault this bag.

Hey Doug,
Thank you very much for such a comprehensive and insightful review. We are very glad to hear that you share our values of sustainability and ethics. Indeed, with your purchase you have made a difference to the world. We are also very happy that the bag is standing your adventures well! It is designed to last since we are advocates of slow fashion.
Also we appreciate you pointing out that the strap buckle gets a bit loose when running. We are looking into possible solutions for the future to amend this small issue. The reason it gets loose is that we opted to use metallic buckles instead of plastic ones wherever possible, to minimise the use of plastics. Again, thank you very much for your time and for letting us be part of your journey towards a more sustainable life.
Bagmaya in Paris
With the Bagmaya backpack I was in Paris, before the quarantine, I found it very useful, also to protect the money with the pocket on the back. It is light and waterproof. I am very satisfied with my elegant black Palawan and I have decided to buy it also in a summer color. I made up my mind for Tumeric Yellow, so sunny and cheerful!
