Recycled Solar Bags

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Sakku Bags Made From Sails

— August 3, 2008 — Eco
TrendHunter has previously featured either recycled or solar bags, but none of these designs were both. Sakku combines the two eco-friendly concepts with their solar bag line that is made from recycled sail boat sail. Now that’s what I call a green design!

Made in Switzerland, each bag carries its own story and individual vibe, with the name of the lake or sea where the boat was located stamped on the bag.

The bag is big enough to hold a 17” notebook, comes in assorted designs and features a 2.5W solar panel. 

The bag sells for $275. However, you can opt for a $385 version with a chargeable battery, which can come in handy in those cloudy days.
