High-tech nylon, created from recycled plastic bottles, is used for most of the bags you see here. This fabric is water-resistant and lightweight, making these sustainable bags perfect for busy lifestyles.
Nylon isn't the only recycled textile used for these bags. The Paravel best-selling canvas duffel bag and weekender tote, pictured, are made using the label's signature Ecocraft Canvas which is created with a combination of recycled plastic water bottles and natural cotton fibre.
For a designer look, Italian brand Themoire's collection of clutch bags are made exclusively from a combination of reused, recycled, and biodegradable materials. A Themoire bag's lining, nylon thread, and packaging all use 100% recycled materials.
