Growing up in Brisbane with a French father, sisters Olivia and Claudine always had a flair for business, sustainability and creativity. Their entrepreneurial spirit started young—playing shops at the front of their house, selling anything they could get their hands on (with Mum’s approval, of course). Old newspapers, books, trinkets—if it had value, they found a way to sell it.
That childhood passion never faded. Sustainability, fashion, and business were always at the heart of their ambitions. And so, Eau Bags was born—though not overnight.
The Name Behind the Brand
EAU [pronounced ‘o’, translated to water in French] is a nod to their heritage and a reflection of the effortless, fluid style they bring to every piece.

The Perfect Partnership
With experience living in Bali, the Sunshine Coast, and now Melbourne, Olivia has developed an incredible eye for sourcing unique and beautiful pieces. She’s always on the lookout for materials and designs that tell a story. Meanwhile, Claudine’s background in communications and interior design means she has a sharp instinct for color, style, and aesthetics, ensuring each bag feels as good as it looks. Together, they make the perfect team.
A Passion Project Turned Full-Blown Brand
What started as a passion project quickly became something much bigger. Managing full-time jobs while building Eau Bags wasn’t easy, but their love for the brand—and seeing how much people love their products—made it all worth it. Today, Eau Bags is more than just a brand; it’s a community of like-minded people who appreciate style, sustainability, and timeless design.
From childhood shopkeepers to brand founders, Claudine and Olivia have turned their dream into reality. And the best part? They’re just getting started.
