Peggy Owiti-Ollonde is the owner and founder of Drawstring Bags Kenya:
I started making drawstring bags in 2016 though initially it wasn’t a business idea until when I went for a maternity leave. I had a lot of free time in my hands being away from work; I had just given birth to my second child.
It was around the time the ban on polythene bags was effected. My son had come home with wet books. I couldn’t use polythene bags to solve the problem so I sew him a drawstring bag from polyester fabric, just as his swimming attires. I then imprinted his name on it.
