Susan (1975, Rotterdam) designed The New Shopping Bag in 2000 as an alternative to the single-use plastic bag you get at supermarkets and stores. After more than 20 years, this bag's design has proven itself repeatedly and has remained unchanged. The New Shopping Bag has been released in over 600 colour combinations and is now part of a timeless collection of functional bag designs for everyday use. Sustainability has always been at the brand's core. All products are crafted from Bluesign®-certified and recycled ripstop nylon. SUSAN BIJL has collaborated on special collections over the years with HAY Design, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, IFFR, 75B, Experimental Jetset, Bertjan Pot and more.

During 3 Days of Design, SUSAN BIJL will host a pop-up shop at café Atelier September, a former gallery in the centre of Copenhagen. The latest collection, 'PLAY', will be on display as well as special editions such as the collaborations with Depot Boijmans Van Beuningen and HAY.
