"I am a passionate designer bag collector and therefore one of you! My high demands on the products have been put through their paces. I wouldn't spray anything on my treasures if I wasn't 100% sure!"
It all started in 2018. After almost 20 years of passion for collecting luxury handbags Susi decided to address the concerns of handbag lovers and to enhance their beautiful pieces with homemade bag jewelry. She was fascinated by the care and protection of exclusive handbags. She spent hours experimenting with her outfits and the care requirements of her favorites to create something really special.
Your discovery: As a long-time saleswoman in a specialist textile and leather retailer, she had only limited access to specialists in leather and textile chemistry. Nevertheless, she persisted and spoke to many manufacturers of care products and waterproofing agents. For months, almost years, she tested countless products and finally found a solution that was still relatively unknown. And so Wash & Safe was born in her living room for herself.
Claudia's (Enjoy the Silence) cry for help moved me so much that I gave her my cleansing.
Claudia got all the stains out of her beloved bags and posted this.
This was the birth of Wash & Safe 1.0, Bagvolution's first product in 2019. Back then, simple, much smaller 100 ml bottles were filled by hand and provided with self-printed labels. The set cost €68 at the time.
Today: double the amount 200ml instead of 100ml - slightly cotton-scented foam cleaner instead of odorless spray - and at a better price
Your mission: Wash, a cleaner that had to be highly effective on leather and textiles, safe for pets and children, pleasant to smell and easy to use. Safe, a waterproofing spray that met special requirements for leather and textiles, was odorless and food-safe and should be easy to apply. Care is a color-refreshing leather lotion that nourishes and cares at the highest level.
Your enthusiasm: Susi didn't give up, driven by her love for her handbags. She started selling the first products in a simple online shop. The first influencers helped her with sales, and she achieved five-figure sales in the first year. This was the starting signal to invest in the product and further increase revenue.
The change: In 2023, Susi was given free scope to develop her business with DokuPit GmbH. She was able to produce her products as a private label at a better price, develop a new product design and refine the recipe even further. The new shop went online on September 22, 2023. New partnerships, collaborations and friendships with several influencers help to continue the success story.
The future: Bagvolution continues to develop and is bringing new products such as leather straps, extensions, bag lamps and fresh bags onto the market. Several problem solvers are in the starting blocks. A separate app for quick inventory taking for insurance coverage is also planned. So the company is not running out of ideas any time soon. 😉
