At the origin of the brand, a student project and a human encounter
OUR HISTORY
If the Hindbag company was created in 2015, it is however from 2012 that the story begins. Originally: a student project led by Pierre Monnier, the brand's founder.
As part of his business school studies, he collaborated with the NGO Swami Sivananda Memorial Institute (SSMI), based in Delhi, to have tote bags made for business communication needs. The objective is to allow the NGO to no longer depend on donations thanks to fixed income.
SSMI then already had its textile activity where it trained women from underprivileged neighborhoods in sewing to enable them to emancipate themselves.
When the project was finished, Pierre suggested that the NGO continue to work together on the design of kits and tote bags for companies, and thus founded Hindbag in 2015.
The brand, which initially only personalized textiles for companies, then developed a range of colorful organic cotton bags and fashion accessories in 2019 for the general public.
Today, Hindbag represents the most important source of income for the NGO thanks to its activity of goodies for companies and its ethical brand for the general public. By relying on the know-how of the seamstresses and the activity of Hindbag, the NGO has succeeded in becoming financially independent. All profits go to work for Women Empowerment, children's education, and the fight against malnutrition, SSMI's 3 main commitments.
