Who Are Recycled Bags Really For – And Who Are They Not For?
Recycled bags are becoming more common in everyday city life, but they’re not the perfect solution for everyone. Before choosing one, it’s worth asking: who are recycled bags really for, and when another type of bag might work better.
Why recycled bags aren’t a universal solution
Recycled and upcycled bags often come with unique materials and character. This makes them different from mass-produced bags, both in appearance and in everyday use.
Who benefits most from recycled bags?
- active city dwellers
- people who use one bag in many situations
- those who value durability over trends
- anyone comfortable with unique materials
Technical materials recovered from kitesurfing kites were originally designed for demanding conditions, which makes them especially suitable for everyday use.
When recycled bags may not be the best option
A recycled bag might not be ideal if:
- you need a very formal work bag
- you expect perfectly identical appearance
- you’re looking for a bag only for special occasions
How to decide if a recycled bag fits your lifestyle
Instead of asking whether recycled bags are “good” or “bad”, consider these questions:
- do you use a bag every day?
- do you value function over perfect looks?
- do you want one versatile bag?
If the answer is yes, a recycled bag made from technical materials is likely a good fit.
