Add some colorful and functional flair to your ensemble with the collapsible Pocket Tote.

The Pocket Tote has a Ripstop nylon body and handles, and is lightweight and durable. Ripstop is the same tough stuff that sails, parachutes, and hot air balloons are made of.

When you’re done, you can fold it into itself.

There are two colorways: Forest and Sky!

Our Upcycled Street Banner Bags have become wildly popular because of their graphic colors and the uniqueness of each one. It shouldn’t be taken for granted, however, that each bag has a story behind it. We received one such story today from one of our twitter followers, Hana, inquiring about a very specific bag that she had seen in her friend’s blog.

Her parent’s names just happened to be on that bag, and in a wild coincidence, it turns out that the banner was from a lecture given by her parents in Korea in 2009!

Check out how Hana diagramed how the original banner made its way to its final form:

It was a delight to see that one of the Banner Bags’ stories came back to us through coincidence and the magic of the Internet!

We are pleased to announce our newest collaborative bag line with South Korean non-profit design brand, Eco Party Mearry! Just in time for Earth Day on April 22nd, our line of 100% recycled bags are made of old street banners, leather couches and jackets, and donated clothing. No two bags are alike! They’re super fresh, durable, design-forward, and best of all–good for the Earth! A percentage of the proceeds will go towards environmental efforts and create more jobs abroad.

The series includes three styles:

The Recycled Street Banner Bag

The Bubble Bag

The Recycled Suit Tote

A lot of love and hard work is put into every bag, and we wanted to show you first hand how these bags are made in Korea.

STEP 1: Gather the material. Street banners are found everywhere in Seoul, from buildings to streets. Instead of trashing the nylon material, volunteers gather the street banners from all over Seoul.

STEP 2: After gathering the discarded materials, they organize them and clean them.

STEP 3: The street banners are taken to the workshop to be cut and sewn into bags by designers.

Who needs a Nori Tote?? Haha, poor little guy, he was so good he just chilled out in the bag, he lets us do anything. We were reminded that sometimes we need to hide our little guys on the train, bus, and such…. Poketo totes to the rescue! This one by Betsy Walton.

We have 4 new totes. Yes. 4 new totes.
Made out of sturdy canvas, this bag has generous side gussets and measures approx. 15 x 18″ without straps. Inside the bag is a generous zippered pocket where you can put your Poketo wallet, cellphone, keys and etc. Big enough for your groceries and stylish enough for your everyday use!
