For a good many years, I worked for Non-Governmental Organisations in South East Asia, (where I hail) as a craft consultant for development projects. My main job being to reuse, repurpose and upcycle materials and turn them intoo attractive functional items. Local villagers would craft these products to be sold to resorts, hotels or gifts shops in that region, thus generating income for the village.

Nowadays I live in the wet & wild Pacific West Coast, yet in the same spirit, I am constantly searching for ways to reuse remnants, found items and dead stock that I can repurpose and upcycle into unexpected items that will both delight and endure. The recycled jacket bags we make not only upcycle jackets, pants and skirts into one of a kind bags and keep stuff out of the landfills. When it's dad or granddad's jackets that get upcycled, they become a wonderful reminder of a loved on that you can hold close.

We also make products to help folk reduce their impact on the earth. Bags that are reusable storage for bread and snacks, for instance. And veggie bags that help keep veggies fresher for longer.

We will always be designing new products that in one way or another,eco friendly and lessens the load on the earth.

If you have any questions feel free to get in touch and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. :)
