The brand's origins
Hindbag was founded in 2015 by Pierre Monnier, following an initial collaboration with the NGO SSMI during a student project in 2012. The goal was to enable the NGO to generate stable income by manufacturing canvas bags for corporate communication. Today, Hindbag is the NGO's main source of income, contributing to its financial independence and its commitments to women's emancipation, children's education, and the fight against malnutrition.
