We wanted a better way . . .
Our reusable bags always seemed to be in the trunk or forgotten back at home just when we need them.
Sock-spired.
It was right there between the undies and the PJ’s. A sock turned out to be the perfect stashing spot for a lightweight bag. The stretchiness of the sock made it easy to squish a bag in, and it was small enough that you could simply keep a bag with you all the time.
Off to market.
We were thrilled, but would anyone else would be? We swapped out the sock for a spiffy spandex pouch, and sewed like crazy for a few late nights until we had our first 50 bags. We went to sell at our local farmers market, fingers crossed. By days end, with just a few bags left, we knew we were on to something.
Women powered.
We ended up taking a leap, quitting our jobs and setting up shop in Berkeley, California. Today, we’re a small but mighty team. We’re proud to be 100% women owned and also mostly women operated. Take a peek in our studio and you might find us sewing the latest prototype, working with users, or sourcing the toughest of fabrics.

A good long life.
We design our bags to last because quality goods are more gentle on the planet. We combine tough materials and smart function to ensure our products will be by your side for years to come.
Treading lighter.
A plastic bag spared here, another spared there. Over flip & tumble’s lifetime, we estimate that our bags have replaced around 19 million (and counting!) disposable plastic bags.
Produced ethically.
We’ve been working with our factory overseas for more than 8 years, and they’ve been a great partner for us. We routinely do third-party audits based off of fair trade principles to ensure the workers are treated and paid fairly.
