Sustainability isn’t just part of our DNA—it’s our driving purpose.
We prioritize recycled and renewable materials that elevate both form and function, while keeping efficiency in mind.

In 2007, we pioneered the first stylish, functional shopping tote made from 80% recycled post-consumer waste—earning record sales and customer praise. Since then, we’ve continued to lead in sustainable design, creating national-scale bag programs and launching totes made with 100% recycled content.

    Accreditation

    PropOSITION 65

    TiPPA compliant

    All of our bags are made with the highest-quality components and are Proposition 65 and TIPPA compliant. California’s Proposition 65, officially known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, is considered one of the country’s most stringent environmental statutes in terms of informing citizens about exposure to chemicals associated with causing cancer, birth defects, or other harm. TIPPA (Toxics in Packaging Prevention Act) is a California law enacted in 2006 to reduce the presence of heavy metals in an array of packaging, including bags.
