Information

Discover the heartfelt stories behind 'Bertha Bags', a collection born from love and a desire to spread positivity. Explore how these upcycled creations contribute to mental wellness and promote a kinder world.

A Toddler's Spark

The name 'Bertha Bags' was inspired by my daughter's nickname. As a toddler, despite her tiny size, her personality, love, and affection were larger than life. We affectionately called her "Bertha the bus", or Bertha for short. Like my daughter, Bertha Bags are small, cute, and carry a powerful message.

Spreading Kindness

A Little Nice

Beyond the bags themselves, I hope readers will take away the message that we need more nice in the world! The short quotes on the bags enable us to spread some kindness around, one bag at a time. These messages are designed to uplift and inspire both the carrier and those who see them.

Upcycled with Love

Each Bertha Bag is upcycled from clothing or fabrics that would have otherwise ended up in landfill. This process not only gives new life to discarded materials but also contributes to my own journey through mental ill health by providing a creative and sustainable outlet.
