Comfort, organization and style. Those were the goals of AmeriBag® founders Irwin and Margery Gaffin as they embarked upon the process of developing a shoulder bag that could be comfortably worn by almost everyone. Margery had endured back surgery, and was excited about the opportunity to bring an innovative and helpful product to the marketplace. With the help of medical professionals, the Gaffins embraced this challenge.

The result, the Healthy Back Bag® tote, was an overwhelming success. It features a patented, ergonomic design which feels lighter and more comfortable. By contouring to the natural shape of the body, the Healthy Back Bag® tote hangs asymmetrically redistributing the weight through the length of the whole back, not just from one point on the shoulder, thus reducing stress on the shoulders, neck and back.

The Healthy Back Bag® also features a highly organized interior which utilizes varied organizer pockets that are not only functional, but also provide optimum comfort when used properly. A contrasting silver lining makes it easy to see these pockets.

Since its initial development, the Healthy Back Bag® product line has expanded to include many new styles and features for virtually everyone. It can be used as an everyday bag, carry-on, urban tote, baby bag, gym bag….or for the many ways you live your life.

The AmeriBag Story Developed by AmeriBag® founders Irwin and Margery Gaffin, the Healthy Back Bag® tote evolved following a back injury Margery suffered a few years prior.

The Gaffins saw the situation as an opportunity to fill a personal need and bring an exciting new product to the marketplace.

The patented ergonomic design of the Healthy Back Bag® tote makes the weight feel lighter by redistributing the bag's center of gravity, while relieving stress on the neck, shoulders and back.

All Healthy Back Bag® totes feature highly organized interiors with functional, varied organizer pockets that, when used properly with items distributed evenly throughout the interior, will provide balance for optimum comfort. Easily worn on either shoulder every Healthy Back Bag® tote can also be used across the back for hands free use.

Created for men and women, the Healthy Back Bag® tote is versatile, attractive, and can be used as a carry-on, urban tote, baby bag, gym bag or everyday bag for how you live your life.
