Description

The re.store denim bag is socially inclusive, sustainable, sturdy and uniquely designed!

 

It is socially inclusive because it is made by people who are unique in their difference – IPSS users, refugees, social causes, active ageing – whose work is fairly paid.

It is sustainable and contributes to reducing the ecological footprint because it is made from denim waste, namely laboratory tests by a national company; these tests are carried out on denim worktops and slices are extracted from them for the tests, resulting in holes in the worktops. What at first glance would have been a material with no possible functional use was transformed into a unique bag because we also added our fabric waste.

The handles are made from upcycled material from a trimmings factory, very resistant and in line with the design of the bag.

The brand label is woven from recycled polyester yarn, the signature label is printed with water-based ink and biodegradable material and the paper label with re.store’s value proposition is made from cotton waste and seeds, so it’s plantable!

Approximate bag size: 45×50 cm.
Strap size: 54cm

 

How did we develop this denim bag?

Creatively upcycling denim waste from the Portuguese company Troficolor Denim Makers and our own fabrics, we have created fabric bags that are resistant, functional, unique, sustainable and socially inclusive.

What does this denim bag ‘carry’?

  • Social inclusion because it is done by social partners;
  • Sustainability because it’s made from textile waste (denim and other fabrics that replace the denim that served as the basis for the laboratory test);
  • A truly unique and appealing design given its essence: upcycling;
  • Reinforced handles that guarantee sturdy functionality;
  • The know-how of the Portuguese textile industry.
  • Our commitment to a greener Planet and happier People.

What is our impact in designing this bag?

In People: remuneration for the social partners who made the bags.

For the Planet: upcycle of textile material (denim, fabric waste and trimmings for the straps), with no additional consumption of water and energy, no CO2 emissions and no use of chemical agents.

Join us and be part of an eco and socially conscious future. The difference is in the small actions, because those are the ones that really count!
