Plastic-Negative Everyday Accessories

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Monarc Settra Sling & Wallet are Built to Last

— May 19, 2022 — Eco
The Monarc Settra Sling & Wallet are a series of everyday accessories for eco-minded consumers to choose as a way to keep essentials stowed in a decidedly sustainable manner.

The accessories are characterized by their plastic-negative design that incorporates plastic from 21 recycled bottles for the sling bag, while the wallet uses four. The sling bag offers up to 10-liters of space inside for stowing essentials, but is distinctly more compact than existing backpacks on the market for a more agile feeling. The wallet offers ample space for cards and cash with a quick-access card slot on the front.

The Monarc Settra Sling & Wallet are inexpensively priced and inherently durable to make them great for value-minded consumers.
