An ode to childhood

Bag of Bong

Growing up in a Bengali household, certain cultural motifs become an inescapable part of one's childhood - the distinctive terracotta horses that our parents dutifully toted back from Bankura post our summer trips, the whimsical stories of Sukumar Ray (who is, in many ways, West Bengal's Dr Suess), or even popular landmarks from the City of Joy that etched their place in our holiday photo albums. Capturing these tidbits of nostalgia is Bag of Bong, which produces a range of quirky products embellished with quaint hand-drawn illustrations. We were particularly drawn to their marble coasters that commemorate Ray's 133rd birth anniversary.
