"To re-use what already exists is about finding value in everything around us. Placing a value on how we spend our money, how we treat each other, how much stuff we make, how much gets wasted and getting creative. Currently we are making bags of many shapes and sizes, wallets, clutches, purses, hip pockets, wristlets, clutches, pouches, beer accessories and more - all out of upcycled and repurposed textiles. We sell some of these products in batches to other businesses, municipalities or universities, and we sell directly to retail consumers via a new e-commerce addition to our website.
One of the coolest things in this journey of entrepreneurship is connecting with cool companies, awesome leaders and visionaries, and staff in companies across the region that care about this community and want to be part of things that make a positive difference. Camira has been one of those companies for us. From when we met Rune Akselberg, President of Camira Group Inc., and got excited about how sustainable Camira’s products are, to Bobbie Hejna who has been our logistics and design partner on a number of projects, and of course our first big project – the all wool bags made of beautiful Camira Blazer fabric for NeoCon 2018. We love repurposing, designing and using what already exists, and making it beautiful and unexpected. We have loved working with Camira and hope to continue our partnership with them for years to come. "
