SammyBags

A little piece of New Zealand is heading to Montana. 🇳🇿 ✈️ 🇺🇸

Since 1972, Butterfly Herbs has been doing its thing in Missoula, Montana. And now we’ve had the pleasure of making something special for them.

50 handmade, reusable coffee pouches, each individually stamped with their incredible vintage artwork.

Made to be kept. Made to be refilled. Made to last.

Pretty excited to see these find their new home at Butterfly Herbs. 🦋☕️

Another local roastery making the move to refill, not landfill ☕️♻️

Loving how these custom SammyBags turned out for Okere Falls Store. Their branding looks right at home on our Natural washable kraft pouches.

Designed for customers to buy once, bring back and refill with freshly roasted beans again and again.

Own the packaging. Refill the coffee.

Thanks Rachael and the team at Okere Falls Store for getting behind reusable packaging 🙌

A fresh batch of SammyBags, made for Common Ground Espresso ☕️👌

Packed up and heading to Dunedin for their first refillable run. 📦🤎

Their branding on natural washable Kraft paper looks seriously good, made to be refilled, reused and carried back for more great coffee.

Another roaster choosing to brand the solution, not the trash. ♻️

A bit of a full-circle delivery today.

80 custom SammyBags made and delivered to CADAP (Canterbury Association of Deputy and Assistant Principals) for their upcoming conference.

And the delivery address happened to be Lincoln High School, where I was a student myself, class of ’94. Pretty cool walking back through the school gates and seeing just how much the place has changed since then.

Each bag was handmade here in Ōtautahi Christchurch and stamped with CADAP’s logo and whakataukī:

“Haere taka mua, taka muri; kaua e whai.”

“Go ahead, go behind; don’t follow.”

A pretty fitting message for a group of educational leaders.

A big thanks to Jamie L’Huillier for finding SammyBags and getting the ball rolling on this one, and to CADAP for choosing something locally made, reusable and designed to stick around for a long time.

And a bit of Beastie Boys for the soundtrack. Had to be done for ’94.

Coffee is craft.☕️
Packaging should be too.

This isn’t just a bag.
It’s a reusable coffee pouch made for people who care how things are made.

Better beans.
Better materials.
Less waste. ♻️

Reusable. Refillable. Built to last. 🔥

Bread deserves better than a throwaway bag.

Handmade in Ōtautahi.
Traced. Cut. Sewn. Stamped.
Finished by hand so it looks like it’s lived a little.

Built to carry proper loaves.
Built to last.
Built for BAKER.

Refill. Reuse. Repeat.

Proud to see these heading out into the wild with .featherston

One simple change. Millions of bags saved.
We backed this great piece from Responsible Cafes about reusable coffee bean bags — worth a look 👇

Australian cafes use and sell 143M kilos of coffee bean bags every year, most are made of plastic. Let's explore a reusable option for coffee enthusiasts!
