NEW YORK — The Sandy Liang x Baggu 2026 collection, internally branded as “Baggu 2.0,” launched June 3 at 9 a.m. PST / 12 p.m. EST, marking the second collaboration between the Lower East Side designer and the cult reusable-bag label. The 10-piece range — priced from $20 to $96 — is available for pre-order through June 9 at 11:59 p.m. PT via preorder.baggu.com, with shipping slated for September 2026.
The drop arrives nearly three years after the duo’s first joint release sold out in one hour in August 2023. This round expands beyond the original tote-and-pouch format into luggage, picnic blankets and glasses sleeves, and introduces three new prints: Market Plaid (in pink and blue), Terminator Bunny, and Folding Stars.
Collection Overview
The Sandy Liang x Baggu 2.0 collection spans 10 distinct styles with multiple colorways, bringing total SKU count above 16. Every piece is constructed from recycled heavyweight nylon or recycled ripstop nylon, and all items are machine washable — a sustainability spec carried over from Baggu’s core line.
Prices anchor the entry point at $20 for the Baby Bow Baggu and top out at $96 for the Cloud Carry-On. The release positions Sandy Liang’s designer cachet against Baggu’s mass-accessible price ceiling, mirroring the format seen in the Havaianas x Isabel Marant flip-flop collaboration earlier this year.
The Three Prints Explained
The collection’s visual identity hinges on three prints, each tied to a distinct chapter of the Sandy Liang catalog.
Market Plaid
Reimagined in pink and blue, the Market Plaid is rooted in the designer’s Queens upbringing. Liang grew up in Flushing surrounded by Chinatown’s ubiquitous striped market totes — a reference she has carried through the brand since founding it in 2014.
“The market plaid is so important to me and feels so right for me because I grew up with my aunts and uncles and my grandma with all these bags.” — Sandy Liang, founder, Sandy Liang
Terminator Bunny
An original Sandy Liang character, Terminator Bunny features the brand’s signature bunny motif paired with stars in a cheeky colorway. Liang has confirmed the figure originated as a one-season experiment. Character-driven collabs continue to perform across the accessible-luxury segment, a pattern also seen in the Crocs x Super Mario collection.
Folding Stars
The neon-green Folding Stars print is repurposed from Liang’s Fall/Winter 2025 runway collection. It is the only print in the lineup with direct runway provenance.

Where to Buy and Pre-Order Details
Pre-orders are open through June 9, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT at preorder.baggu.com. Estimated ship date is September 2026. Following the pre-order window, the full collection will be available at baggu.com and sandyliang.info.
Limited in-store stock will be available at Sandy Liang’s flagship boutique at 28 Orchard Street in the Lower East Side, which the brand opened in 2020. Given the 2023 collection’s one-hour sell-out, retail sources expect in-store inventory to clear within the launch week.
Context: Three Years After the First Sell-Out
The first Sandy Liang x Baggu collaboration launched in August 2023 and sold out in approximately one hour, establishing the partnership as a benchmark for designer-x-accessible-brand drops. The three-year gap between releases is notable in a category where collab cycles typically run 12 to 18 months.
Liang founded her label in 2014 after graduating from Parsons School of Design. The brand grew from a fleece-jacket cult favorite to a full accessories and ready-to-wear operation, with her Lower East Side flagship serving as a focal point of downtown New York fashion — a scene also represented in this year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund 2026 shortlist.
Baggu, founded in 2007, posts estimated annual revenue between $100 million and $250 million, according to LeadIQ and CBInsights data. The broader reusable grocery tote bag market was valued at $2.1 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $3.4 billion by 2035, per Market Research Future — a tailwind that has made designer collabs in the category increasingly competitive.
The release lands within a dense 2026 collab calendar that includes the Ganni x Melissa 2026 collaboration, the Balenciaga x Manolo Blahnik collaboration, the Burberry x Quentin Blake capsule, and the Casablanca x Ladurée collaboration.
