At Back Luggage Company, every stitch, seam, and design is a testament to the vision and dedication of our founder, Nzisa Kioko. From her journey in sourcing school bags for her son to creating a brand that supports local artisans, Back represents more than just a product; it’s a movement toward local craftsmanship, sustainability, and quality.
Discovering a Need: How BACK Began
Our story starts with Nzisa Kioko, a mother and a visionary, who faced a common problem—finding durable, well-made school bags. Disappointed by the lack of quality and the reliance on mass-produced imports, she saw an opportunity to bring something different to the market. She dreamed of bags that were not only functional but also beautifully designed and built to last.
Nzisa didn’t stop there. Inspired by her local community and driven by a commitment to sustainability, she embarked on a journey to build a brand that offered high-quality, locally crafted bags. Her goal? To make a positive impact, both for her customers and the artisans she partnered with.
Craftsmanship Rooted in Tradition
At BACK, our craftsmanship is a labor of love. Each of our products is handmade by skilled artisans who take pride in their work. By using locally sourced materials—from sturdy textiles to eco-friendly leather alternatives—we ensure that every bag tells a story of skill, tradition, and creativity.
Each design is carefully thought out, combining functionality with elegance, while our artisans pour countless hours into honing their craft. The result is a collection of bags that are not only practical and stylish but also created with a purpose: to showcase the beauty of locally made, sustainably crafted products.
Our process isn’t about mass production; it’s about quality. Every stitch and seam is checked to meet our rigorous standards. Our artisans blend modern designs with traditional craftsmanship to create bags that stand out and stand the test of time.
The Power of Buying Local
Choosing a BACK bag is more than just a purchase—it’s an investment in community, sustainability, and local artistry. Every bag you buy supports local artisans, empowering them with fair wages and opportunities to showcase their skills. By buying locally made products, you’re also reducing the carbon footprint associated with long-distance shipping and excessive packaging used in mass production.
Local production also means we can offer something unique. We use diverse materials available in our region, giving each bag a distinct look and feel. Supporting local brands like BACK keeps the artistry alive and ensures that traditional techniques continue to thrive in today’s fast-paced, globalized world. When you choose BACK, you’re supporting a movement for sustainable, locally made products that bring real value to you and your community.
