Good Onya, Mate!

Onya Bags were invented by Jon Brousson, Director of Onya Bags®, in Fremantle, Western Australia. Troubled by the environmental impact of the proliferation of plastic bags, Jon committed himself to re-usable bags. Like many of us, he found himself usually taking bags to the store, but never really having one every time...Sound familiar?

Thus, he imagined a reusable bag that was as convenient as a plastic bag, but also attractive and desirable. In a moment of inspiration while lounging in his self-storing parachute-fabric hammock, Jon envisioned a strong and compact bag, complete with a clip to attach to his keys.

The Onya Bag was born. Convenient, attractive, desirable, strong and clipped "onya," a revolution in reusable bags was underway.

Trish Rickaby, Jon's partner in life and full-time nurse, encouraged the development of Onya Bags. Now, she is a mother and full-time "Bag Lady", as Onya Bags are spreading across the globe.

Now available across Australia, the United Kingdom and Ireland (via Jon's brother Dan), Japan, Canada, New Zealand and the United States, Jon and Trish have turned a brilliant idea into a reality that has potentially eliminated the use of over 380,000,000 plastic bags!

Coming to America

I discovered Onya Bags while living in Bristol, England. I used my bags nearly every day for nearly every thing! In fact, I am still using my original Onya Bags years later for life's needs, and they are as strong and durable as the day I bought them.

My experience with Onya Bags was so fantastic, I wanted to bring them to the U.S. Onya Bags USA offers bags at the retail and wholesale level, as well as offering discounts to non-profit organizations and schools. Please contact us for more information.

Onya Bags USA is solely owned and operated by me, Kristin Gasser. As a full-time mother, this business could not exist without the loving support of my family and friends, the true "owners" of Onya Bags USA (two of whom are pictured here!).
