In the era of fast fashion-fatigued wardrobes, Carry Om invites you to “Carry more than a bag. Carry meaning.”

Rooted in its beginnings as Khumbmela—one of the Philippines’ pioneering local bag brands—and founded with a purpose, Carry Om breathes new life into overrun materials from large factories by transforming them into one-of-a-kind bags and accessories for the modern, on-the-go Filipino.

With a patchwork of bright and colorful materials crafted into unique silhouettes, it’s easy to tell when a piece is part of Carry Om's lineup. Since officially launching in December 2024, the brand has expanded its line of totes, crossbodies, and backpacks in new sizes and designs—often one bag with different ways to wear. Take the Ganga, a crossbody, backpack, and handbag hybrid with a customizable strap system that suits your needs. The Chakra is the same—a moon-shaped shoulder-slash-crossbody bag that features six compartments to keep your essentials organized. All of their pieces (including the rest of the lineup: Atma, Garuda, Jada, Muni, and Mala) are made with 90% upcycled materials, so “no two bags are ever exactly the same.”

But Carry Om isn’t just about sustainable design. It’s also about heritage and craftsmanship, employing the same sewers who have worked with Khumbmela since the ’70s to ensure design and quality that will last generations.

Carry Om is available in Spatio at Opus Mall, Power Plant Mall, and on www.carryom.com.ph.
