Bag Star Inc

Broadway around Bushwick is that stretch where you can still find small shops that feel like they’ve been there forever. Bag Star Inc fits right in—one of those no-nonsense spots where people actually buy things instead of just browsing. At 1295 Broadway, Brooklyn, it’s tucked between the bodegas and the laundromats, easy to miss if you’re not looking for it.

Inside, the focus is strictly on bags. Not the kind you toss in your cart at a big-box store, but the ones you might actually need: backpacks, duffels, laptop sleeves, and those sturdy totes that don’t fall apart after a month. The selection leans practical, the kind of gear that works for commuting, gym trips, or hauling groceries without making a fuss. No flashy displays or seasonal trends, just the basics done well.

If you’re heading over, give them a call at (718) 417-8433 to check if what you need is in stock. Directions and the exact storefront are on the map here. Chances are, if you live in the neighborhood, you’ve walked past it a dozen times already.
