Curious How Canvas tote bags fuels this Filipina mom's entrepreneurship and creativity?
The tote bag frenzy has come a long way from its history. Pioneered by the LL Bean company in Maine, its initial purpose was to address the common challenge of moving ice from a car to a freezer back in 1944. In the Philippines, canvas tote bags became popular in the early 2000s as an effort to reduce plastic waste. Since then, many innovative entrepreneurs have put their own twist on canvas bags. One such inspiring success story is Kringles Handicrafts Trading, a business that has been flourishing since its establishment in the year 2000.
In 2023, Kringles took the reins of the family business, marking a new chapter in her life. Transitioning into a pivotal role encompassing design and management may seem daunting to many, but not to Kringles. Her journey began at a young age as she closely observed and learned the nuances of the trade from her parents. It was this early exposure that kindled her passion and set her on a path of creativity and entrepreneurship.
Kringles’ product line includes a range of canvas bags. Not only are they functional and eco-friendly shopping bags, but in recent years, canvas tote bags have captured the hearts of the younger generation. The versatility of canvas tote bags as gifting options cannot be overstated. Their lightweight nature, affordability, and customization options have made them not only a practical choice but also a trendy gifting idea. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, or a simple token of appreciation, these bags have become the go-to choice for thoughtful and sustainable gifts. Kringles’ commitment to providing unique, customizable options ensures that each gift carries a personal touch and a heartfelt message.

Very creative! I would love to get the Sharon bag for myself and the one with Baybayin writings (and super cool niya)!
Nowadays that plastic ban are getting activated in many cities, carrying a canvas tote bag (plus some extras) are a must. It is also a smart gift idea.
