Our Origins

The Shared Bag was founded in Toronto in 2019 by two friends, Ahmed and Suanny, who share a passion for connecting communities and reducing waste worldwide. With an extensive background in fashion manufacturing and a deep belief in the potential of the circular economy, especially within the fashion industry, they became increasingly frustrated by the industry's wasteful practices. Together, they set out to create a system where fashion could be shared, repurposed, and continuously circulated.  

What We Do

The Shared Bag is a community-driven brand dedicated to reducing waste through creativity, connection, and collective action. We empower designers, artists, and community members to adopt more sustainable ways of consuming clothing by curating:

• Workshops
• Collaborations
• Markets
• Guided Up-cycling sessions
• Support Local Artists
• Collective Clean Ups 
• Build a Creative community

Each experience is designed to make sustainable fashion and reducing waste feel accessible, creative, and fun!
