Our story
From printed calico bags to a growing reusable range
The Fresh Green Bag began in Sydney in 2001 when textile designer Wendy Paulucci produced 100 printed calico bags for a local greengrocer looking for a practical alternative to single-use plastic.
From those first calico bags, the range grew into jute, hessian, cotton and canvas, along with wholesale, custom printing and upcycled street-banner projects for businesses, councils and organisations.
