Doing Business as Baba Would
Baba means Grandma in Ukrainian. In 2019, we started a social enterprise inspired by a handmade reusable bag our Ukrainian grandmother brought from Ukraine to our family in Chicago.
Our intention is to treat our customers, our planet, and Ukraine with the same love and care as Baba would!
Help make a global impact
Baba Bags
Our handmade bags are more than just an accessory – they're a statement of your commitment to reducing waste and supporting artisans in Ukraine during wartime. Our bags are crafted with the same resilience and strength as their makers, serving as a symbol of Ukraine’s unwavering light during times of darkness.
Our versatile, handmade bags can serve a multitude of purposes – from spacious beach totes to reliable
lunch carriers, practical gym bags to unique plant holders. With endless possibilities, the only limit is
your imagination! Plus, they're ultra-compact and can easily fit in your pocket or purse, so you can
always have one on hand. When you buy a bag you join our family and that's why every bag comes with a lifetime warranty. Join us in making a difference, one Baba Bag at a time.
Support Ukraine during wartime
Baba Bandanas
After the full-scale war broke out in Ukraine, we launched
the Baba Bandana as a fundraising product. Our goal was
to showcase some of Ukraine's beautiful symbols on a
wearable item that people (and pets) could use to
demonstrate their support for the country.
So far, the bandana has generated $4,000 in proceeds,
which we utilized to donate medical supplies to individuals
in Ukraine and 56 thermal outfits for orphans, staffers,
and 2 cooks(who were grandmothers!)
at a winter camp in Ukraine.
