These recycled travel bags are both stylish and friendly to the environment.
The bags are all part of the 'Plane' collection, which features a variety of travel items that include a weekend bag, a rucksack, a briefcase, laptop and iPad cases and phone sleeves. The designs come in plain purple and a purple base with multicolored stripes -- both of which are made from upcycled airplane seats. As the seats once had a purpose outside of being decorative designs on bags, each of the bags tells a story about the history of the seat stamped onto it. This includes how many miles it has traveled, to how many countries, how high it's been in the air and how fast it has traveled at its maximum speed.
These recycled travel bags are luxury items that not only reduce waste, but tell a unique story as well.
