Denim Shopping Bag with Blue and White Stripes

Description

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

It is socially inclusive because it is made by people who are unique in their difference – social institutions, refugees, social causes, active ageing – whose work is paid for in a dignified way.

It is sustainable and contributes to reducing the ecological footprint because it is made from denim waste. 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: 55×50 cm.
Strap size: 40cm

What does this denim bag ‘carry’?

What is our impact when designing this denim bag?
