Ragbag is a brand for upcycled bags and accessories, designed by talented European designers. The production is done by ‘ragpickers’ and small fabricators in the slums of Delhi and Calcutta (India), providing them work and income. Ragbag is started in 2005 by Siem Haffmans after meeting Anita Ahuja of Conserve on a conference about EcoDesign. The first collection is designed by Ellen Sillekens (Rietveld Academy) and produced by Conserve in New Delhi (India). In 2005 Ragbag won the BiD Challenge (Business in Development) and in 2006 the “Ei van Columbus Award” and the “European Business Award for the Environment”. In 2007 the Calcutta collection was launched, designed by Vera Winthagen (Design Academy Eindhoven) and produced by Fairdeal Crafts in Calcutta. In 2010 the Tea-bags and Cushions are launched, produced by Adithya Trade in Tamil Nadu. Our principles: 1. Fair – We work on a equal base with small partners,
always paying them a fair price of approximately 20% of the advised consumer price.
2. Upcycled – Our products are made mainly out of post-consumer waste, that is upcycled to a higher level.
3. Fashion – We work with talented designers from the best design schools.
‘New Delhi has approximately 17 million inhabitants and every day more than 1.000 people arrive in the city to find a better future.. Around 150.000 people are dependent of waste collection and trade for their daily living.’
Our partner in Delhi (India) is Conserve. They work with ‘ragpickers’, who collect plastic waste bags and sell it to the collection centers. Plastic rags are washed, dried and separated by colour. The plastic bags then go into a machine, which presses them into thicker and durable sheets.
The project is already creating jobs for more than 60 ragpickers, people at collection centers and fabricators in the slums of New Delhi.
