Ragtag Bags by Rita Kay

Handmade. Upcycled. Unapologetically Unique.

Welcome to Ragtag Bags!

Where the world’s forgotten fabrics find new life as bold, beautiful, one-of-a-kind fashion statements.

Mission Statement: Turning Yesterday’s Textiles into Tomorrow’s Treasures!

We rescue discarded clothing, jewelry, and fabric, transforming them into uniquely handcrafted purses and apparel. Each piece is a labor of love—meticulously designed, stitched, and embellished—making it as distinctive as you are.

Vision Statement: Imagine a World Where Style Saves the Planet.

Our vision is to lead a movement of creative, eco-conscious fashion—proving that upcycling isn’t just sustainable, it’s fashionably chic. We celebrate craftsmanship and mindful consumption, revealing the hidden beauty and unexpected potential in overlooked materials. Through inspired design and skillful hands, we give these treasures a second life—turning the ordinary into something extraordinary.

About Us: Handcrafted. Heartfelt. Hometown.

Each Ragtag Bag is lovingly made right here in our local community—never outsourced, never mass-produced. As a small, locally owned business, we pour care and creativity into every piece, selecting every scrap of fabric, lace, ribbon, jewelry, and trim by hand. It takes two to three days of detailed, passionate work to create each one-of-a-kind treasure.

That’s why you won’t find any two alike—or find this level of artistry in a store. When you buy from Ragtag Bags, you’re supporting true craftsmanship, sustainable fashion, and the dream of a hometown maker.

Because quality, originality, and heart go into every stitch. Each Ragtag Bag is created with premium, thoughtfully sourced upcycled materials, and finished with hours of meticulous handwork. Your purchase isn’t just a bag—it’s a story, a statement, and support for small business.
