Terra Thread Organic Cotton Bumi Duffel Bag - Green

the brand story:

Terra Thread was created with people and the planet at its core, specializing in a line of premium bags made using family grown Organic Cotton and fair labour practices.

Terra Thread's parent company, Gallant, was founded in sunny Southern California. Founder Vik was born and raised in Nepal and spent time in India as his brothers and father worked there. In 2009 he started Gallant with the intention to help small scale artisans as well as to establish a business for himself in the US. After learning about the importance of Fair Trade and organic products at trade shows, Gallant joined organizations like Fair Trade USA, Fairtrade International, Fairtrade Federation, Organic Trade Association and the Global Organic Textile Standard. 

The company has since partnered with a factory in India to make private label bags, cosmetic pouches, muslin bags, and accessories. All of the Gallant's products are GOTS Certified and Fair Trade. Having made bags for brands and companies around the world, Vik realized that there were not many options for affordable and sustainable backpacks that consumers could choose from. In 2017, he expanded his company and started his retail brand, Terra Thread Collection.
