We use as much reclaimed materials as possible
Outer shell: Deadstock reclaimed upholstery with varying fabric composition (see above for specific details for this listing)
Lining: Recycled tents, curtains, blinds and other reclaimed upholstery
Strap: All patterned ropes are recycled climbing ropes. The solid colour ropes are new materials but composed of 100% recycled PET bottles (rPET). The black hi-vis rope is made of polyester, we are currently trying to source a reflective rope that is more sustainable
Silicone Tubing: recyclable through specialist
Metal Hardware: recyclable in the metal section of your local recycling facility
Our reclaimed materials are sourced throughout the UK - waste materials from other businesses, recycling centres, climbing centres and just about anywhere we can think of that would have materials we can save from landfill.
We sort through the variety of materials collected and pair fabrics before sending it all to a local two person atelier to construct each bag. Team ditto then finishes them by adding the hardware and ropes.
