Our Milchmeer yoga mat bag and sleeve was sewn with lots of love from a recycled fish feed bag from a Cambodian village community. The recycling bag has a spacious inner compartment with zipper, which provides enough space for the yoga mat. A zipper on the rear exterior stores smaller belongings. A net inside the bag separates the sweaty T-shirt of the yoga mat. Air holes are used for better air circulation. The size-adjustable shoulder strap adjusts ideally to the desired size. A removable shoulder pad supports the wearing comfort.
Size: 67cm L x 8 cm Diameter
Because each bag is sewn by hand from a recycled fish feed bag, the design may vary slightly from the pictures shown here. But you can be sure that the fish can be seen on the pictures is on the front.
Milchmeer ecobags – colorful. useful. fair.
Milchmeer ecobags, these are stylish and colorful bags and purses, that are made out of recycled cement bags, fish feed bags or used tubes from motorcycles. Our bags are sewed by Cambodian villagers that are able to work under fair conditions.
colorful.
Our bags are all colorful and unique. The reason for this lies in its original fabric: Cement and fish feed bags are originally joyfully and colorfully printed in southeast Asia. This feature is conserved due to the skills of our sewer. This way a colorful and unique accessory is made out of old cement and fish feed bags.
useful.
The original bags are made out of woven synthetical. Because of that they are highly robust and water-repellent. This is no secret, as they used to carry heavy weight (such as cement or fish feed). During the process of upcycling our sewers add various details, such as zippers or press-buttons, to offer our bags the maximum of usefulness.
fair.
Our sewers are the core of our project and the most important resource that needs to be taken care of. We are currently working with two Cambodian organizations, that joined a Fair-Trade organization and which are members of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). Additionally we assure the compliance of the fair working conditions through visits and our close relationships with our sewers.
