We are proud suppliers to retails including PEP, PnP, Tekkie Town, Mr Price, TFG and  Massmart to name a few.

On the online front, which continues to outperform, Take A Lot, One Day Only , Everyshop, Makro and AVO.

This year our company will celebrate 25 years of successful distribution of our ever growing ranges including but not limited to :

RE-USABLE SHOPPERS

BRAAI

GLASSWARE & BAR ACCESOIRIES

The company traces its roots back to the 1970’s under the banner of Travelex as a manufacturing operation. Since then our name changed to Bags Direct as its main focus lay in the bag industry.

In the subsequent years, due to our market penetration, it was decided to expand our ranges offered to accommodate the ever growing trends from our clients.

In 2019 the company was joined by Luciano Levy, who as a young entrepreneur having successfully completed his degree in online marketing and brand management saw the opportunity to grow our online presence.

As such we are excited to launch our online platform trading as ECOLIFESTYLY.SHOP which caters to the consumer seeking eco-friendly products.

Our journey continues with Luciano opening our first office in Barcelona early 2024 where our main focus will be to expand our sustainable shopper range which has become one of our most popular lines due to the ban on plastics.

The new Spanish operation will also concentrate on its online platform which will cater to Amazon and Corte Ingles.

Our track record has proven our resilience and adaptability in these challenging economic times and we strive to evolve to position the company to better tailor our products to suite our clients’ needs and expectations in both quality and versatility.

We would like to thank all our loyal customers for their continued support.
