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 ofDelhi and Calcutta (India), providing them work and income.

Ragbag is started in 2005 by Siem Haffmans after meetingAnita Ahuja of Conserve on a conference about EcoDesign.The first collection is designed by Ellen Sillekens (RietveldAcademy) and produced by Conserve in New Delhi (India). In

2005 Ragbag won the BiD Challenge (Business inDevelopment) and in 2006 the Ei van Columbus Award andthe European Business Award for the Environment.

Our principles:1. Fair We work on a equal base with small partners,

always paying them a fair price of approximately20% of the advised consumer price.

2. Upcycled Our products are made mainly out ofpost-consumer waste, that is upcycled to a higherlevel.

3. Fashion We work with talented designers from

the best design schools.

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.
