Description

The re.store® mesh bag is socially inclusive, sustainable, durable 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 knitted 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: 42×50 cm.
Handle size: 30cm

What does this mesh bag ‘carry’?

• Social inclusion because it is done by social partners;
• Sustainable because it is made from textile waste (knitwear);
• 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 when designing this denim bag?

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

On the Planet: reuse of textile material (mesh and trimmings for the straps), no additional water and energy consumption, 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!
