Our Story 🌏

Chris and Sadie holding their paintings

Sadie was born in Bangkok. Chris was born in Austin, Texas. In between, our family lived in Las Vegas and New York City. It hasn't always been easy — but these two are the happiest, strongest, most creative kids we know.

When we moved back to Bangkok, something clicked. Chris started painting everything — beaches, animals, scooters. Sadie filled notebooks with characters and stories. Both of them have always had that entrepreneur spirit — always selling, always creating, always scheming up the next idea.

Then one night we stumbled on a video about a woman in Austin running a snail mail subscription. Sadie's eyes lit up. She'd been obsessed with blind bags for years — the mystery, the collecting, the surprise of not knowing what you'd get. "We could do that. But in an envelope. And we could mail it to people from Bangkok."

That was it. The Blind Bag Club was born — a real business run by two real kids. They pick the art. They choose the surprises from Thai markets. They write the letters. They help pack every envelope. And they're learning things no classroom can teach: how mail works, how money works, and what it feels like when someone on the other side of the world opens something you made.

What's Inside? 🙋

A mystery envelope arrives from Bangkok with real Thai stamps and a postmark. No screens, no apps — just the thrill of tearing open real mail. Here's what's inside.

We Give Back 💚

Because Chris and Sadie believe animals deserve adventures too.

🐘 Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand

A portion of every Blind Bag Club subscription goes directly to WFFT — one of Southeast Asia's largest wildlife rescue centers, right here in Thailand.

WFFT cares for over 800 rescued animals across 200 acres — elephants, gibbons, bears, tigers, and hundreds of primates saved from the illegal wildlife trade and the tourism industry.

Chris and Sadie chose this one themselves. Chris because he's obsessed with animals (ask him about capybaras). Sadie because she wanted their business to do something that matters. Every envelope you open helps feed and protect rescued wildlife.
