Ecosilk Bags were created in 1999 by Australian Emily Hay, who was dismayed by the widespread acceptance of plastic bag use in society, and the lack of a viable alternative.
As a patternmaker/fashion designer, she developed the basic design of a plastic bag, using a durable nylon fabric called parachute silk. After trialling the bags for 2 years and finding them to be ideal in every way, Emily started the business – Ecosilk Bags – in February 2001.
The bag production started on the kitchen table, where they were cut and machined by Emily, but has now grown to full scale production in China.
In May 2008, Emily was contacted by a very enthusiastic mother and daughter team, Barb and Sara, who were keen to distribute Ecosilk Bags in the US. Emily was impressed with their genuine enthusiasm for the environment and Ecosilk Bags, and after many months, emails and phone calls, they signed off on an agreement.
