I left corporate America after almost 30 years to spend a couple of precious last years with my youngest teenage daughter. She would be going off to college before I knew it and I wanted to be more deliberate in spending time with her through her final high school years.

My career had been in Sales Operations and Marketing so I needed to find a new creative outlet. I pulled out my trusty sewing machine that my husband had given me for Mother’s Day a couple of years earlier and made a colorful flowered drawstring backpack for my daughter. She wore it EVERY day to high school and always got compliments on it. I made a few for her friends and before I knew it, others were asking “Where did you get that adorable backpack?” She would wear it on errands, to school, to the beach, to the gym, on vacation, and her drawstring backpack consistently caught the eye of others who would ask, “Where can I get one?”

Voila! I had found my new creative outlet and OC Drawstrings began.

OC Drawstrings is dedicated to sourcing it's materials from U.S. companies and each bag is made right here in Southern California.
