Eco silk bags were created in 1999 by Emily Hay, who was dismayed with the widespread acceptance of plastic bag use in society, and the lack of a viable alternative.

As a pattern-maker/fashion designer, she developed the basic design of a plastic bag, using a durable nylon fabric called parachute silk.

After trialling them for two years and finding them to be ideal in every way, Emily started the business - Ecosilk Bags - in february 2001, with some initial help from a friend.

The bag production started on the kitchen table, where they were cut and machined by Emily, but has now grown to full scale production in China.
