Our Legacy and Inspiration
Ricky Bags Africa is a legacy in motion.
Named after Richard “Ricky” Mrima, the brand honors a man defined by courage, humanity, resilience, and unwavering faith. He showed up for people, gave even when he had little, and faced life with strength and belief. That same spirit drives everything we do.
Just as Ricky saw value where others didn’t, we transform discarded
materials into meaningful, high-quality bags. Every piece reflects a
deeper story — of turning waste into purpose, and challenges into opportunity.
Ricky’s legacy lives on — not just in name, but in impact.
