This year, our company will celebrate 25 years of successful distribution of our ever-growing ranges, including but not limited to:
- RE-USABLE SHOPPERS

- PET

The company traces its roots back to the 1970s under the banner of Travelex as a manufacturing operation. Since then, our name has changed to Bags Direct, as its primary focus lies in the bag industry.
In the subsequent years, due to our market penetration, we decided to expand our range of offerings to accommodate the ever-growing trends of our clients.
In 2019, the company was joined by Luciano Levy, a young entrepreneur who, having completed his degree in online marketing and brand management, saw an opportunity to grow our online presence.
As such, we are excited to launch our online platform trading as ECOLIFESTYLE.SHOP is a platform that caters to consumers seeking eco-friendly products.
Our journey continues with Luciano opening our first office in Barcelona in early 2024, where our primary focus will be to expand our sustainable shopper range, which has become one of our most popular lines due to the ban on plastics.
The new Spanish operation will also concentrate on its online platform, which will cater to Amazon and El Corte Inglés.
Our track record has proven our resilience and adaptability in these challenging economic times, and we strive to evolve to position the company to tailor our products better to suit our clients' needs and expectations in both quality and versatility.
We want to thank all our loyal customers for their continued support.
