Drawstring bags became trendy because of their versatility and the fact that they can be customised. They come in various shapes and sizes to suit the occasion and the purpose of their usage. Drawstring bags have a fascinating history. These bags started gaining popularity in as early as 13 and 14th century. The concept of the present-day drawstring bags came from the ancient cloth or leather pouches that men carried while travelling to take their belongings and even coins. 

Drawstring bags started earning the status of a fashion accessory in the 18th and 19th centuries. Both men and women started using them to carry their stuff on a day-to-day basis as these smart bags were fun and made fashion statements. Women used to carry these drawstring bags around their waists to carry coins and accessories. 

The designs underwent some remarkable changes in the 20th and 21st centuries. They emerged as small, beaded and personalized bags. 

There are several utilities of drawstring bags. First, these bags are easily accessible and easy-to-use. The bag can be opened by pulling its top and it can be secured by pulling back its strings. The most convenient part is that it is devoid of multiple flaps and zippers of normal bags, which make them complex to handle. A drawstring bag has only one large, main compartment to keep everything one wants. That way it is easier to locate your stuff, without getting lost in innumerable pockets and side chains. Drawstring bags can be easily customised with logos, colours, prints and monograms of your choice. 

A drawstring bag’s shape and size makes it portable. Traditional bags are heavy and difficult to carry for long at a stretch. But drawstring bags are sleek and slim.

A custom printed drawstring bag makes a good gift for both men and women as they are unisex, age-independent and most importantly eco-friendly.
