About Us

BAGAVAGABONDS is a company, a collective, a community and a family of creative crafters and thinkers.

Founded by Izzy Holden and Eli Thomas, BAGAVAGABONDS has steadily grown from a small team to a multidisciplinary network of skilled crafters and creatives. Over the past (twenty years) we have assembled this collective by always falling back on the principles that matter most to us: artistic expression, creating something memorable, telling a story, sharing in the process, caring along the way, celebrating each other and supporting a dream as it becomes a reality.

(What we do)

EXPERIENTIAL MARKETING STRATEGY

We design experiences. From installations to pop-ups to interactive moments, we craft spaces for connection, curiosity, and lasting impressions. It’s marketing that you don’t just see—you feel.

PRODUCTION & FABRICATION

We handle the materials, logistics, and craft behind every concept. Whether it’s a one-off installation or a full-scale experience.

Creative Development & Design

We start with questions, sketches, and then we let the project take on a life of its own.
