“It’s a Bi*** Doing Business in India – And Still, We Chose Each Other”

“I’ve worked with suppliers for 35 years. None of them are like this.”
– Mike, Sales Director, Plastique Tags, Inc.

The Crisis

Mike has worked with global suppliers for over three decades – from China to Vietnam to Hong
Kong. He’s used to speed. Precision. No-nonsense transactions.

India? That’s a different story.

“It’s a bi*** doing business in India versus the Orient.”

“Quotes take days. New York adds insane costs. It kills our margins.”

He wasn’t looking for another vendor.
He needed someone who could help him navigate the chaos – and still deliver

What They
Needed

Speed , without compromising flexibility.
A real partner , not just another “yes man”
Someone who could go from talking cotton SKUs . to geopolitics . in one phone call.
And above all, someone who could help them stay different , not “me too”
“Every other product we sell, breeds competition.
With your bags, we have the most SKUs and the most flexibility in the game.”

The Bagstudio
Difference

This wasn’t just about product. It was about trust.
Over 15 years of working together, Deven became more than a supplier – he became one of the only vendors ever invited to meet Mike’s customers.
“Our relationship evolved out of necessity, yes. But it’s grown out of mutual respect.”

Bag Studio delivered not just on cotton and jute bags — but also on resilience , adaptability , and the ability to listen when most suppliers just deflect. Even when delays or proofing issues happened (and they did), Mike never held back with feedback — but he also never walked away. Because he knew Bag Studio was in it for the long haul.

The Transformation

Today, Mike’s team remains a top player among custom suppliers — with the widest range of cotton / jute bag SKUs and the ability to offer styles, blends, and flexibilities others simply can’t match.


Even industry giants are now following the trend toward green products. But Mike? He was ahead of the curve.
“This year I want to continue pushing blends and styles others don’t offer.”

“I’ve never taken other suppliers to meet my customers.
I’ve never had this kind of closeness.
But I’m proud of what we’ve built together – and I respect how hard you work.”– Mike
