FAQ

WHAT MATERIAL IS THE BAG MADE OF?

We use used truck tarps, which we adapt to designs for yoga mat bags, toiletry bags and backpacks. The tarps, consisting of polyester and PVC fabric, are extremely durable and waterproof. Using the durability of the tarp material and its resistance to rain or snow, we give it new functionality.

CAN YOU SEE THE WEAR AND TEAR OF THE MATERIAL ON THE BAGS, ARE THEY DIRTY?

Creating our products is a multi-step process. From selecting the tarps, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting them, to punching and sewing. Each product is unique because it comes from graphically non-uniform tarps. Each tarp also has specific creases and abrasions, and remnants of detached reinforcing strips are also visible. This is the personal DNA of each product.

DO THE BAGS HAVE A SMELL?

At first, the product may have a peculiar smell. Then all you need is a walk and fresh air and the smell will disappear. Or you can always wipe it with a damp cloth with a small amount of dishwashing liquid. Each bag has a different smell, but the more you use it, the faster the smell fades. You can also wash it several times, preferably in scented dishwashing liquid, but be sure to wash it at a temperature no higher than 30 degrees Celsius.

HOW TO CLEAN AND WASH THE PRODUCTS?

Our products can be washed in any detergent, but please be sure to wash at a temperature no higher than 30 degrees Celsius. We recommend a small amount of scented dish liquid. Also avoid the clothes dryer.

ARE THE MATERIALS USED TO MAKE THE BAGS SAFE?

Every material we use is thoroughly inspected, cleaned and disinfected. Thus, we eliminate any dirt, mold or bacteria. Of course, the material from which the bag is made is PVC and, like raincoats, cables or floor coverings, should not be taken in the mouth. For this reason, it is not suitable for children under the age of three.

WHY DO WE USE USED TRUCK TARPS?

Because such action aligns with our lifestyle and ideals. We live in a world that is flooded with new items created from scratch every day. Why produce from scratch, manufacture more things, if you can use what is still good? Instead of throwing away truck tarps, we give them a second, beautiful life. What’s important, we know that our products will serve you for many years.

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH 3%?

When you buy our products, you help both the planet and animals. We donate 3% of the value of each order to selected charity foundations. We support www.onetreeplanted.org, a foundation that plants trees around the world. Their slogan: one tree – one dollar – it seems like not much, but at the same time it is so valuable, because three adult trees produce oxygen for 2 people for a whole year. The other foundation is pfamysore.org People for Animals, a non-profit organization dedicated to the care of animals in Mysore, India.
