The physical act of separating the bag from the suit mechanically strips electrons off the bag. The electrons remain on the suit leaving it negatively charged whereas some of the atoms that are part of the bag are now missing their electrons and hence the bag has a net positive charge. The magnitude of charge on the bag and suit are equal but opposite as must be the case since charge is conserved.
