Slãinte Bags was founded by Jill Bornemann in October 2003. Jill moved from Dublin, Ireland twelve years ago
and after a long stint in corporate America decided to follow her heart. What makes her bags so unique is the
choice of fabrics. Materials are found in estate sales, on holidays, at trade shows, or from donations. Jill doesn’t
follow trends; she bases her collection on what will compliment the urban uniform of jeans, khakis and everything
black. What makes the bags so identifiable is the simplicity of the patterns along with their functionality. Slãinte
bags are made in Sacramento, CA. Slãinte means “health” or “Cheers” in Gaelic and is pronounced slawn-tcha.
