Since the beginning, my brother and I dreamt of building a company that creates real impact. Being a #bcorp since 2012 means we don’t get to put the mission on cruise control — we have to earn it again and again.

And honestly, we love that. For years, we’ve dreamt of bringing our team to Bangladesh — to stand where our bags are made, meet the women and families behind them, and see the ripple effect of meaningful work. This week, we made that dream real.

We’re journaling the journey — the people, the craft, and this extraordinary natural fiber, jute, that comes from this beautiful 🇧🇩 country. This is our thesis in action: business can be good, and good can scale.

First stop was with Amirul Hague Amin. He’s the President of the National Garment Worker’s Federation and creates policy for 4.2M garment workers in Bangladesh

Love this quote from Amirul: “The business model behind the Apolis Market Bag is a symbol of Bangladesh’s future”
