UPCYCLED . UPLIFTED
Bags with a hand-stitched story
We deconstruct rugged, post-consumer denim and rescued textiles, stitching them into durable, one-of-a-kind accessories designed for another lifetime.
Our bags reflect the second life of the textiles. As such, there my be discolorations, uneven patterns and an occasional oops. We hope you embrace the imperfections inherent in our creations, just as we strive to embrace our own imperfections.
Peace, love and upcycle

One-of-a-kind second-life design
Our upcycled bags are made from well-loved jeans and well-worn shirts. Each is unique and reflects the characteristics of the original garments.
We take pride in our commitment to keep perfectly fine textiles out of landfills.
We hope you enjoy your bag as much as we did sourcing it and creating it.
