You’re not just buying a bag…you’re joining a movement that supports children in care
At Madlug, every purchase has purpose. When you buy from Madlug, you’re not just buying a great bag for work, school, travel or uni...you’re helping a child in care move with dignity.
More than 100,000 children across the UK and Ireland are in care. Many have no choice but to carry their belongings in black plastic bin bags. You can help change that.

World Children's Day: 5 Facts You Need to Know About the Care System
On World Children’s Day we celebrate the rights and wellbeing of children around the world. But for children in the care system, their journeys can be much harder.

Here are five key facts about the care system to consider this Children’s Day.
Our Black Friday Deal - Choose Impact Over Discounts
As the holiday season begins, we’re reminded of what matters most – kindness,
generosity, and purpose. That’s why, this year, Madlug is choosing to skip Black
Friday sales and focus on something more lasting: making a meaningful impact
on the lives of children in care. A mission that drives us every day of the year,
not just at Christmas.
At Madlug, we’re taking a different approach to Black Friday and inviting you to
‘gift with purpose’.
