Carrying Stories of Community: Apolis Bags at Clic

At Clic, we pride ourselves on curating products that bring beauty, purpose, and meaning into everyday life. That’s why we’re thrilled to carry custom-printed bags from Apolis, a brand that perfectly embodies these values. With exclusive designs celebrating locations like The Hamptons, Tribeca New York, Clic New York, Ojai California, Montecito California, and Marin California, these bags are more than just accessories—they’re a tribute to community, sustainability, and ethical craftsmanship.

 

The story of Apolis is one of vision and heart. Founded in 2004 by brothers Raan and Shea Parton, the name "Apolis" translates to "global citizen," a philosophy that underpins everything they create. The Parton brothers sought to combine business with social advocacy, proving that commerce could be a force for good.

 

At the heart of Apolis’s mission is their commitment to empowering communities worldwide. Their iconic Market Bag, for instance, is crafted by a women’s co-op in Bangladesh. This partnership ensures that the artisans receive fair wages and sustainable employment opportunities. Many of these women are the primary earners in their households, and the work they do for Apolis provides them with financial independence and security.

 

The success of the Market Bag is a testament to the power of thoughtful design and meaningful collaboration. Each bag is made from durable jute fiber with a water-resistant lining, designed to last and serve as a functional, stylish companion for years to come.

 

What makes our collaboration with Apolis so special is the personalization. At Clic, we offer exclusive Market Bags with custom prints that celebrate some of the most beloved locations where our stores are rooted. Whether it’s the timeless charm of The Hamptons, the urban sophistication of Tribeca New York, or the serene landscapes of Ojai California, these bags capture the essence of these unique places.

 

Our custom-printed Apolis bags are perfect for farmers' market outings, weekend getaways, or simply as a chic addition to your daily routine. They also make thoughtful gifts for friends and family, connecting loved ones to the beauty of these iconic locales.

 

Beyond their timeless design and functionality, what truly sets Apolis bags apart is their impact. When you purchase one of these bags, you’re not just making a fashion statement—you’re contributing to a larger mission. By supporting Apolis, you’re helping to sustain fair trade practices and providing meaningful opportunities for artisans around the globe.

 

At Clic, we are proud to partner with a brand that shares our dedication to thoughtful craftsmanship and community building. Each Apolis bag we carry aligns perfectly with our mission to offer products that combine aesthetic appeal with meaningful purpose.

 

Apolis bags hold a special place in our hearts for several reasons. Their versatile design makes them a perfect fit for everything from casual errands to special outings. Their durability and water-resistant construction mean they’re as practical as they are stylish. And, of course, their handcrafted origins and global impact resonate deeply with our values at Clic.

 

We love that these bags reflect the unique character of the places they represent while also serving as a symbol of the shared values that unite us all—sustainability, empowerment, and connection.

 

Whether you’re a local to one of these destinations or simply a fan of the distinctive vibe they represent, our Apolis Market Bags let you carry a little piece of your favorite place wherever you go. Available in stores  and online, these bags are more than just accessories—they’re a celebration of the communities we call home.
