Upcycled Materials

Our upcycled materials :

• Black model: lifeboat. After 15 to 18 years, the canoes on the ferries are no longer approved. They are cut, cleaned and reassembled in the north of France.

• Beige model: tent cloths in waxed cotton. We recuperate the production scraps of the last boyscout tent manufacturer.

• Multicolored models: Upcycled kitesurfing prototypes.

The zipper "pulls" are kitesurfing lines.

The materials are upcycled and have already taken on the air of the sea, so traces of their previous life may be visible on the finished product.

Très content !

Super produit dans sa conception. Et son design, c’est top !
Petit doute mais à suivre : est-ce que ses coutures sont suffisamment costaud pour durer plusieurs années avec une utilisation quotidienne ? A suivre
