About Us
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 2001, owner-designer Louise Bartlett launched Beatnik Bags - a generation of yoga
bags, backpacks, totes, and accessories inspired by the radical self-expression of
the Beat movement and a commitment to environmental responsibility. Made from new,
recycled and repurposed textiles and jewels, these limited-edition creations boast
vibrant prints, rich textures, and serendipitous accents that guarantee a departure
from mainstream, mass-produced designs.
Beatnik Bags are proudly made:
- In San Francisco
- Using a variety of found materials from upholsterers, thrift-store jewelry, and
other companies' surplus
- In small batches of limited-edition combinations of colors and fabrics to
honor the uniqueness of all who carry them
Our Vision:
We are all responsible for our planet's future and believe in doing what we can,
in the time that we have, in the place that we are. We all have the power to change
the world and we are inspired to do it creatively, one bag at a time!
