The colorful bags of UNU Rotterdam

Are you looking for unique, colorful bags that are guaranteed to make you stand out? Then the bags from UNU Rotterdam are highly recommended! UNU means 'us' in Surinamese, so literally translates us as Rotterdam, the place where it all started. The quirky bags are handmade from high quality organic cotton and lined on the inside. So beautiful, sturdy and also durable.

Different models

Whether you are going shopping for a day, going to work or going out for a night out, there is a bag for every occasion. The bags are currently available in three models:shoppers, tote bags and pouches. The little ones have also been thought of with a special tote bag for children.

Collaboration with creatives

When the brand was founded in 2016, the prints of UNU Rotterdam came from African and Surinamese culture, but now collaborations are entered into with talented makers to come up with new creations. The latest prints of the UNU x Sibumski collection are designed by the Rotterdam artist Sibumski. Sibumski is known for the art poster he designed for the North Sea Jazz festival. In 2018 he won the design competition for this.

Social contribution

UNU bags are produced locally by Talentfabriek010. The place where people with a distance to the labor market are given opportunities to develop their talents. UNU Rotterdam therefore makes a social contribution to the community.
