The Challenge
At White Crow Coffee & Books, every purchase held meaning — a carefully chosen book, a quiet moment, a story waiting to be lived.
But the way these stories left the store… wasn’t quite aligned.
Customers carried their books in single-use paper bags — functional, yes — but fragile.
Heavy books often meant double-bagging, adding cost and waste.
And then came the Mumbai rains.
Moisture would weaken the paper, handles would give way, and sometimes… stories quite literally slipped through.
What was meant to be a joyful purchase became an inconvenient experience.
And just like that — the bag, and the brand — disappeared the moment the customer stepped out.
