Tiger Family – Hong Kong’s leading ergonomic school bag brand
What do we love more than stylish, sustainable school bags? Ones that are also comfortable for little shoulders, of course! Tiger Family has been lauded for its aesthetic and ergonomic school bags for over 50 years, and is the only school bag brand recommended by the Hong Kong Chiropractors’ Association this year. Their award-winning Ergo Spine System 360 bag reduces shoulder pressure by 66% and uses waterproof, non-toxic materials, ensuring kids’ safety and durability. Tiger Family prioritises sustainability by converting recycled plastic bottles into textile yarn. Eco-conscious mamas should also check out the Go Ocean and Go Green options.
Sassy Mama Tip: Keep an eye out for Tiger Family’s Book Fair Promotion from 16 to 22 July, where you’ll get 15% off ergonomic school bags and a free gift pack, and the Back To School Promotion offering the same discount until 31 August.
