Introducing the vayakora electronic bag tag!

Posted on julio 3rd, 2025 leslie dean brown

We are pleased to announce that we have recently introduced a new electronic bag tag designed and handmade right here in Australia. We believe these are the most advanced luggage tags available anywhere in the world today. For the time being you can only buy them from our online Etsy shop.

How they work:

Anyone with a modern nfc-enabled smartphone can reprogram the embedded electronic NFC chip with their preferred contact details such as name, number and email. If their bag then gets lost, whoever finds it can simply tap this with any modern NFC enabled smartphone to find out who it belongs to. Easy! The advantage of this is that no one can read where someone lives while standing in the queue at the airport so there is more privacy!

Construction and materials:

Its three layer core construction is made from natural flax, bamboo and cork materials so it is biodegradable and thus designed to decompose (well ok not the chip inside since compostable electronics is not yet a thing). It comes from a zero waste business.

The loop component is made from Viton™, a very durable (and expensive) fluoroelastomer polymeric material which will not degrade or break easily like normal ordinary rubber. We don’t want travelers’ bag tags separating from their bags, right? This product is designed to last as long as possible, reduce the use of our reliance on plastic while still being made from mostly ecological, biodegradable and sustainable materials.

You can purchase the beige one from this here and the black one here.
