An easy way to find the best bag for you

Every bag you buy helps keep this alive.

A craft 2,000 years in the making — almost lost

Dong cloth is a traditional handmade textile from one of China’s ethnic minority groups, with a history of more than 2,000 years. The process involves over 30 steps, from planting cotton to hand-dyeing with natural indigo.

To preserve this living heritage, we have incorporated their cloth and pattern into our bags since 2013. In the mountain villages of Dong tribe, we partner with the local Artists’ Association to source Dong cloth, build epicenters, and support over 5,000 Dong families.

At Bampo, our leather bags and our Dong cloth bags serve the same mission — original design that funds a culture worth keeping

Our Culture Exhibition Center

A Culture Exhibition Center was built to preserve their traditions. It has 4 galleries: Music, Costume, Architecture, and Local Customs.

Our Library

Our library was built especially for left-behind children, offering a bright and inspiring space to read, learn, and dream.

Our Materials

Every Bampo bag is crafted from the world’s finest materials, ethically and sustainably sourced to ensure lasting quality.

Our Craftsmanship

Backed by 20+ years of in-house factory experience, we combine skill and passion to create high-quality pieces that endure.

Recognized worldwide

Recognized by Red Dot, the Tassen Museum Amsterdam, and the European Design Awards — because originality still matters.
