NEW! Tote Bag Ocean Water

Shipped in 1 weekOur new favourite tote bag is not just spacious and stylish it’s also sustainable. Ocean Tote promises a reduced environmental footprint as it is created from 100% textile waste recycled from factory floors. We thought why create from new materials when you can re-use what already exists?This material has been discarded during the cutting process by the garment industry (because not everybody designs keeping zero waste in mind). Instead of ending up in landfills and oceans we have repurposed this textile waste and turned it into a sturdy reversible and large tote that holds everything you need for on-the-go — from wallet glasses water bottle shawl book laptop to a deep inner pocket for your keys. Pack it all in and head to the beach or for a weekend getaway!Since we have used post-industrial recycled waste to craft our Ocean Tote each bag is unique as this print cannot be reproduced and is a limited edition.
How it’s made
With all-over stripes that lend a summer vibe to the Ocean Tote and fish embroidery details that add a playful element your Ocean Tote bag has been thoughtfully designed and handcrafted by JULAHAS in collaboration with two brands that are pioneers of textile recycling — Doodlage and Khaloom.We reached out to Khaloom an organisation that works exclusively with recycled materials to source textile waste from cutting floors. The material that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill was then shredded and woven by hand into our striped fabric. This woven fabric was then passed on Doodlage another innovative brand that upcycles and recycles textiles to embroider and tailor our Ocean Tote bag. The outer layer of our tote is made from 100% post-industrial recycled textile waste and the inner layer from cotton canvas for extra strength and support.

Your impact
Worldwide 92 million tons of textile waste is created annually. While 85% ends up in landfills 12% is discarded from factory floors and less than 1% of this is recycled into new garments. Our Ocean Tote Bags are handmade from that tiny portion of recycled materials that would otherwise end up in landfills or our oceans. For every 100 meters of fabric woven we have prevented 92kg of Co2 from being generated utilised 30 kg of waste and saved 126000 litres of water.
