About

Colibries is about sharing handicrafts in an ethical and sustainable way. We craft bags and accessories with a little dose of inspiration, helping you to live more intentionally. Our mission is to provide awesome mindful accessories with a great cause for you to vote for and products you believe in. 

We also want to offer you an original gift idea to personalize so that you can bring something that have an incredible personal touch.

Started in 2013 and based in the Netherlands, we are two friends for life, born in Vietnam, growing up in the Netherland. We became a bridge between our eastern roots and our western lifestyle through our career as creative buyer and product developer. Recognizing how large footprint products can leave on environment, we decided to change course. Through the founding of Colibries we want to share consciously crafted products that make you happy. Our motto is to enjoy life, love the world we live in and ensure that other people and next generations have the quality of life that they deserve. 

Currently, we fuse heritage and zero waste design principle to produce both a line of bins and bags. Using biodegradable washable paper with eco dye-, pyrography, hand-printing, straight from the comfort of our homes. A small batch business, committed to maintaining a small footprint and producing in thoughtful, limited quantities.

We maintain the unique characteristics in each product with our various hand touches from start to finish, which include our choice of using leftover trimmings and fabrics. It’s our take on the pieces of detail that subtly sets us apart. 

We hope with each product we share, we bring a little bit of creative flare to you!

Men Chao,
