Boodlebags

Location

The Boodlebags mission statement is “to make good and do good.” What that means to me is to create excellent, affordable products and be as green as I can in that process. I also want to help others and create local jobs. This is harder than it sounds. I’ve actually been laughed at because I refuse to outsource my labor overseas! At present I make the bags myself with a few helpers; this provides flexible work opportunities in my community. Pattern pieces are cut by hand and the scrap is utilized whenever possible, reducing waste. I make my bags to be durable, keeping them out of landfill. I use the best materials with the lowest environmental impact that I can afford, and buy from domestic manufacturers, supporting American business and keeping my carbon footprint lower. For now that seems the best way to go.
