Our Story

The ASON journey is more than just bag production; it's a testament to the power of a shared vision and an unwavering commitment to quality. It began with a simple idea, born from the combined passion of innovators from different parts of the world, and grew into a global story of craftsmanship and dedication.

The Spark of an Idea

In the early 2000s, a husband-and-wife team in China with a humble background and a big dream began their journey into creating soft goods of the highest quality. From their small start, they grew their team, with balance and a healthy lifestyle always a top priority. They incorporated practices like Tai Chi and exercise to help keep their staff focused and balanced, and as a result, a dedicated team grew, some of whom have been with ASON from these early days. Around the same time, they met a South African industrial designer—a professional cyclist equally determined to build high-quality carry gear. Together, they formed a powerful partnership and began to approach global brands, showcasing their ability to meet the most stringent quality standards. We live our brand, and we are inspired to help our clients fulfill their requirements. So, what is the inspiration for a new bag? Is it a frustrating commute, a challenging trip, or a desire to bring to life a style or function that you’ve had in mind?


Our Core Philosophy

Our brand's foundation is built on a deep appreciation for a healthy lifestyle, the great outdoors, and personal well-being. This philosophy is woven into the very fabric of our company. From the owner who runs marathons around the globe to our export director, a world-record-holding cyclist, to some of our team members who are avid hikers and travellers - we all share a common passion for staying active. These personal pursuits constantly influence our work, ensuring that every bag we design—for travel, outdoors, sports, or fashion—is built to seamlessly integrate with a healthy, on-the-go lifestyle. Because we believe a bag should be a partner in your journey.

The Design & Craftsmanship

At ASON Bags, we believe your gear should support your journey. Our bag designs are thoughtfully created for those who are always moving, whether you’re commuting across town, traveling the globe, or heading to the gym. We design with quick access, spacious pockets, and ergonomic comfort in mind, so you can focus on the adventure ahead. Our goal is to create gear that is durable, stylish, and perfectly suited for every part of your active life. When we design, we are thinking about your life and asking: what does your journey look like, and how do we translate that into bag design?

Our Commitment
to the Planet

We know that every product has an environmental footprint. That's why we are dedicated to minimizing ours through sustainable practices. Our two new roof panel installations are a significant step in our energy management, producing over 2500kW per day.


This power provides clean energy for our sales and admin offices, our showrooms, and two of our manufacturing production lines. We also actively incorporate recycled materials and use eco-friendly manufacturing methods to ensure our bags are built with respect for the planet.

Eco-friendly

Our Longevity Pledge

We believe the most sustainable practice of all is simply making products that last.


From our experience at the heart of manufacturing, we've seen how even small mistakes can lead to product failure on a mass scale, which directly translates into waste.


That's why we pledge to deliver quality manufacturing at every budget level, ensuring our bags stay out of landfills for as long as possible. For us, the equation is simple: product failure equals waste, while quality ensures longevity.
