WAS Bags Glenda Keegan

Fashion Designer - Auckland

"Now you can flaunt sustainability in style with an upcycled/recycled and streetwise WAS Billboard Bag that WAS once a billboard…"

Glenda Keegan is a Kiwi designer who combines creative talent with practicality. Brought up on a Taranaki farm (where her dad taught her welding among other skills), she travelled extensively on trucks in Africa and worked in a range of different jobs before eventually thinking up her now highly successful WAS Bags brand.
A stint at a billboard company, and the realisation that barely-used billboard ‘skins’ are destined for the dump at the end of the latest ad campaign, sparked Glenda's search for a better way to use the hardwearing material.  Four and a half years of experimentation and heavy-duty sewing led her to the conclusion that bags made the best use of these durable and decorative textiles.  Now she makes several versatile designs you can choose from, with parts of the billboards specially selected to ensure each bag is truly unique and original.
Recent additions to the range include the more subtle stylings of bags finished in super durable kevlar sailcloth that once graced super-yachts plying the seven seas.
