About BAGSINPROGRESS

BAGSINPROGRESS is a specialty brand based in New York City, dedicated to creating superior products for contemporary living. The brand was founded by Chiharu (Chi) Hayashi, whose passion for vintage bags and commitment to functionality led to the birth of BAGSINPROGRESS. Over time, Chi refined her designs, starting with simple alterations on a sewing machine and eventually partnering with a factory in Manhattan's Garment District to produce her line of bags.Today, BAGSINPROGRESS operates production facilities in both the United States and Japan.

The Japanese facilities are known for their precision and strict quality control, while the US factories offer flexibility in accommodating smaller orders and a unique style to the final product. This combination of production locations gives BAGSINPROGRESS bags a distinctive identity, appealing to customers across Europe, the United States, Asia, and Japan.
