Why Buy Our Bags?
Why Buy Our Bags?
Did you know that the world produces 92 million tons of textile waste per year?
Fast Fashion has become a global concern. The average person wears an item of clothing 7 to 10 times before throwing it away or donating it.
Only 1 percent of clothing is recycled into something new, some are thrifted or consigned and over 85 percent of textiles end up in landfills.
These tossed items contribute to water pollution, CO2 emission, and even microplastics found in ocean water.
When you purchase our bags you can make a small difference in helping to reduce those numbers.

Each bag is thoughtfully designed using repurposed textiles and fabrics. From the pockets, to the handles, our goal is to use a minimum of 50 percent recycled materials. Some bags contain upwards of 95 percent repurposed materials.
We scour estate sales, thrift shops, marketplace, and other sources to find unique and quality fabrics, hardware and textiles to repurpose. But don't worry, all materials are throughly cleaned and inspected before using.
Each bag has a unique story. Search through our inventory to learn more about each available bag.

Have some vintage fabric or a keepsake you would like repurposed into a bag? Let us create a one of a kind design for you.
We can use your fabric, quilt, jeans, whatever it may be and design a bag in any style. Keep the memory of a loved one or special moment alive and carry it with you.
