About Rice Love
Rice Love was born in 2015 from a simple idea: combat global hunger while creating beautiful, sustainable products. The brand designs tote bags and backpacks from upcycled rice sacks sourced in India, where rice symbolizes shared love and connection.
For every item sold, Rice Love donates one kilo of rice to a family in India facing temporary hardship like job loss or illness. What sets them apart is radical transparency—each bag comes with a unique tag number linking directly to the photo and story of the family you've helped feed. Since launching, they've distributed over 88,000 kilos of rice, impacting more than 1.1 million meals. Inspired by global wanderers, idealists, and activists, Rice Love invites customers to join a movement for both people and planet.
