Some products solve a problem so well that you wonder how you managed without them. ORI London bags are like that. Weather-resistant, lightweight, made from recycled materials, available in colors that actually make you happy — and certified B Corp to boot. The brand is relatively young, but the story behind it is one of the most charming in contemporary accessories design.
Born from a Very British Downpour
ORI London grew out of ROKA London, a brand founded in 2016 by Brett and Emma after a moment that will be immediately familiar to anyone who has spent time in England. Brett set off to explore London's Oxford Street on a particularly sunny day — and in true British style, the skies had other plans. What began as a bright, hopeful day quickly turned into a classic British downpour. By the time Brett made it home, he was soaked through — and so was everything in his bag.
That rain-soaked afternoon sparked a clear design brief: build a bag that's genuinely weather-resistant, thoughtfully organized, beautifully designed, and made responsibly. Since then, the Canfield — the first bag Brett designed — has gone on to be sold all over the world, in thousands of stores from the USA to Sweden.
ORI London itself was born in 2020, inspired by Brett and Emma's first child, carrying on the legacy of creating bags that are bold, colorful, and built to endure everyday challenges.
Certified B Corp, Built on Recycled Materials
Sustainability isn't a marketing angle for ORI London — it's built into the product itself. Since 2020 ORI London has been using recycled materials for the main material of all their bags and backpacks. In June 2023 they became a certified B Corp, committed to making a positive impact on people and the planet, not just profit.
Their recycled canvas is made from post-consumer waste — used plastic bottles and containers that are cleaned, chipped, and spun into polyester yarn, giving it a matte look and textured feel. Their recycled nylon is made from pre-consumer waste, recycling fibres from unused garments, repurposed material, and offcuts, with a shiny look and smooth feel. Both materials are weather-resistant, lightweight, and built to last. Every bag is vegan and cruelty-free.
In 2022 alone ORI contributed to planting over 10,000 trees, and the brand continues to contribute a portion of profits to support people and projects that promote the wellbeing of communities and the environment.
Two Styles, Endless Colorways
At Fina Tavola we carry ORI London's two signature styles — the Canfield B roll-top backpack and the Willesden crossbody sling bag — in a range of colorways from understated black and graphite to bold corn yellow, avocado green, and airforce blue. Here's how to choose between them.
The Canfield B Roll-Top Backpack
ORI's flagship design and the one that started everything. The Canfield B features a roll-top closure with a magnetic flap, a wide-mouth zip opening, padded laptop sleeve, side water bottle pockets, and a front zip pocket for easy-access essentials. Available in medium and large sizes, it's the ideal everyday backpack for commuting, travel, or anything in between. We carry it in Corn Yellow, Avocado Green, Burnt Blue, Graphite, and Black — each one made from recycled nylon, each one genuinely weatherproof.
The Willesden Large Crossbody Sling Bag
The Willesden is ORI's crossbody answer to the same design brief — lightweight, weather-resistant, organized, and easy to wear all day. Chunky zippers, adjustable strap, a wide front pocket for the things you need quickly, and a clean silhouette that works with everything. Available in Airforce Blue, Corn Yellow, Avocado Green, and Black. At under $65, it's one of the most practical and stylish crossbody bags at this price point.
The Carnaby Small Wallet
The same recycled canvas and chunky zipper detail as the bags, in a compact wallet format. A clean, considered accessory that completes the ORI kit — or makes a very easy, very affordable gift.
Who ORI London Is For
ORI London bags are genuinely unisex — designed for everyone, every age, every weather condition. They're the bag you grab without thinking because it goes with everything, holds everything, and you never have to worry about the forecast. Bold enough to be a statement, practical enough to be invisible when you need it to be.
If you've been looking for a bag that does the right things both aesthetically and ethically, ORI London is the answer.
