When I launched the Home of Nula ® 100% Organic Cotton Carrier/Shopper Bag, it was not only a product release - it was a declaration of freedom.
The inspiration came from Erykah Badu’s Bag Lady, a song that has long resonated with me. Its message is clear: carrying too many bags - emotional, spiritual or physical - will weigh you down. To “pack light” is to release what no longer serves you, so that you can move forward with ease.
A Personal Turning Point
This product was birthed during one of the most defining seasons of my life. I had recently filed for divorce and left my marital home after a traumatic incident, a decision that demanded I detach from burdens I once believed were mine to carry. For too long, under the spirit of “unity,” I thought it was my responsibility to hold the weight of problems I did not create.
The bag became a symbol of my release - my choice to leave behind what was heavy, unhealthy and untrue, so I could restore my purity, freedom and peace.
Why Organic Cotton?
I chose organic cotton not only for its durability and sustainability, but also for its symbolism. Cotton is light, breathable and natural - it doesn’t hold unnecessary weight. The carrier bag is practical, reusable and elegant in its simplicity, mirroring the way I wanted to begin living: with intention, clarity and lightness.
A Reflection of Home of Nula’s Philosophy
Home of Nula® has always been about more than wellness products. It is about nurturing a way of life that honours our whole being - mind, skin, body and spaces. This bag may look simple, but it carries within it a powerful message: wellness sometimes means letting go, even if it means losing what once felt familiar.
An Invitation to You
As you carry this organic cotton bag into your everyday routines - whether for shopping, travel or daily essentials - may it remind you to pack light in your own life.
Ask yourself:
- What am I carrying that is no longer mine to hold?
- Which burdens can I release for the sake of peace?
- How can I choose freedom, even when it means letting go?
This bag is more than a carrier. It is a companion in choosing wholeness, one light step at a time.
