Luna Afroz - Luna Bags Founder

Luna Afroz

My name is Luna Afroz. I am the Founder of Luna Bags. I was
born in a Jute mills campus in Bangladesh. Jute is a sustainable and renewable fiber like hemp. My dad worked as a senior manager in the Jute mills industry. I always wanted to do something in sustainability – I was inspired by what my dad did for his living. I lost my dad at the tender age of 21.

I moved to the San Francisco Bay area so that I could be in the startup eco system. Co-incidentally, around the same time, I adopted my two cats. Since my childhood, I struggled with consuming food. I always used to question myself why we need to take an animal’s life away for our sustenance. That question became louder and louder after I adopted my two furry kids. Within a few months, after going through some challenges, I became a vegan and adopted a plant-based diet.  

The concept of my business came from my feelings for my loved ones. I launched Luna Bags – I wanted to make products for everyone – that’s why we make unisex bags. I also wanted to ensure that our bags are sustainable and cruelty-free.

I have about 17+ years of work experience in various Fortune 500 and Big 4 companies in the area of technical product management. I also founded The Orora Filmmakers’ Group – an independent filmmakers’ group that created, managed and promoted independent films.

My life long goal is to make this world a better place through entrepreneurship, innovation and via providing a voice for the voiceless - the animal inhabitants of this world!
