Brief Summary

I-BAG was made not to dictate, but to inspire your style.

Fashionable, practical, multidimensional and high quality; the I-BAG is a unique product made in Slovenia. Different collections of I-BAG are not designed like other brand names that offer seasonal collections, but its design reveals a story – a concept and follows the principles of sustainable development. Every collection has a different identity and it’s not just a reflection of fleeting fashion trends.

I-bag  proves that high style and practicality can blend together beautifully. Our aim is to create bags which will look exquisite and special not only today but as long as you'll wear it. It's our goal to create products which are not merely the reflection of the fleeting and temporary fashion trends but are designed to survive the test of time.  It's the story behind the product that makes it ageless.

Urban. Artistic. High quality. The I-BAG.
